The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Tybee Pier. It’s the only spot on the radar, and the water’s warm – like 87°F, which is a good 4°F warmer than it should be for July. But the surf? Mate, it’s a ghost town for the next two weeks. The finder is showing zero good options for the whole 16-day run.
Starting Sunday, July 19th, through to Monday, July 27th, it’s all bad news. Swell heights are flat, from 1 ft to 3 ft, but the wind is the enemy – constantly side or side-on from the south, blowing 10 to 19 mph, turning the ocean into a choppy mess. The swell period is short, 4 to 6 seconds, so it’s just weak, wind-driven junk. The combined energy of all swells directed here is mostly below 100 (weak wave energy). Every day is marked as “poor surf conditions.”
The only sniff of hope comes on Tuesday, July 28th, in the morning. The wind drops to glassy, with a tiny 1 ft swell from the east-southeast, a period of 8 seconds, and light air. The combined energy of all swells directed here is only 40 (weak wave energy). The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s small, but it’s clean. That’s your one window. The afternoon goes back to poor with a 16 mph side-on wind.
From Wednesday, July 29th, through to Monday, August 3rd, it’s the same old story. Tiny swell, 0.7 ft to 2 ft, poor conditions, and mostly cross or onshore winds. The combined energy of all swells directed here stays under 50 (weak wave energy). There’s nothing to chase.
So, for Tybee Pier, it’s a flat spell. The morning of the 28th is the only time you might get a clean little wave, but it’s a micro-swell. The rest of it is a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a bust.

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.
