The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly messy conditions ahead. The first real glimmer of something rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 23rd, and even then it’s not exactly pumping.
The big story is the lack of any decent swell energy. For the first few days, the combined energy readings are all below 100 (weak), with a tiny bump to 123 (moderate) on Wednesday morning, but that’s ruined by a strong cross-onshore wind. The water is a warm 87°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
Thursday, July 23rd morning is the first time we see a bit of hope. At Tybee Pier, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the SSE, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WSW. This will be the cleanest the beach gets all week. The combined energy is only 43 (weak), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s a small, weak wave. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Crowds are possible here.
Friday, July 24th morning is another clean option at Tybee Pier with a cross-offshore breeze from the NW, but it’s even smaller at 2ft and the energy is a pathetic 33 (weak). Not really worth getting out of bed for.
After that, we drop into a run of nothing. From Saturday the 25th through to Thursday the 30th, the surf is consistently poor – tiny, weak, and mostly choppy or cross-shore. There’s a clean morning on Sunday the 26th, but the swell is only 1.0ft. It’s a dead zone.
Friday, July 31st morning finally offers something a little different. The wind goes glassy, absolutely calm. The swell is still only 2ft from the SE, with a period of 6 seconds, and the energy is 59 (weak). It’s a small, clean, weak wave. Not a standout, but the best conditions we’ve seen. The glassy wind will make it look better than it is.
The rest of the run into the first week of August is just more of the same: small, weak, and onshore or cross-onshore. No real standouts. The best of a bad bunch is that glassy Friday morning, but don’t expect much.
This is a classic summer flat spell for Tybee. It happens. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

Information about the Tybee Pier Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tybee Pier provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tybee Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tybee Pier surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tybee Pier) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tybee Pier may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
