The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got coming down the track. The short version? It’s a tough one for the next couple of weeks. This isn’t a time to be picky, because there’s next to nothing to pick from.
For the first week, from Thursday the 30th of July right through to the following weekend, the surf at Tybee Pier is basically a non-starter. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell not cracking 3 ft, and the energy is really poor, all under the 100 mark (combined energy of all swells directed here hitting only a high of 122 late Monday afternoon). The wind states are mostly onshore, cross-onshore, or messy, with a constant, lumpy chop. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 86°F, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride. This stretch feels like a total write-off for a paddle surfer; honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the moderate to fresh cross-shore breezes might look more interesting than the tiny, poor-quality waves.
Into the second week, we move past August the 6th. The conditions stay inconsistent, with the swell hovering around 0.6 ft to 2 ft and combined wave energy staying very low (single digits and low double digits). The real tease comes around Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of August, when we finally get a moderate offshore wind from the West clocking in at 12 to 19 mph, making the surface clean. But don’t get too excited—the swell is still only 1 ft, with energy at a meager 46 on Wednesday. That offshore wind and clean face are the only standouts, but they’re married to a wave too small to do much on. A beginner might find a knee-high ripple fun, but for everyone else, it’s a skunk.
In short, this is a long, blank run. For this area, a dry spell like this is fairly normal. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say save the wax for another week.

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.
