The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the Tybee Pier zone. It’s gonna be a long, slow grind for the next couple of weeks, so patience is the name of the game.
Right from the get-go, we’re looking at a real flat spell. From Tuesday the 11th right through until the middle of the week on the 19th, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and messy. We’re talking ankle to knee-high dribble from the south with periods as short as 4 to 5 seconds. The energy is absolutely pathetic, barely registering double digits (13 to 38), and the wind is all over the place—cross, cross-off, cross-on. Even the glassy or clean morning windows on the 16th, 17th, and 18th can’t save this, because there’s just no push. The water temp is running about average for this time of year.
Now, things get a *little* more interesting later in the run. The first real standout to keep an eye on is Wednesday morning, August 19th. We get a pulse of east swell pushing up to 0.9m (about 3ft) with a long period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy jumps significantly to 347. That’s a real groundswell, and it’s a reef/point-friendly kind of wave. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s the best looking swell in the whole window. Still, the conditions are only rated as marginal.
That Sunday morning, the 23rd of August, is another one to circle. We’ll see that 0.9m (about 3ft) again, but this time from the SSW, with glassy conditions. That glass is a major win, so if you can scratch out a knee-high set, it’ll be beautifully clean. The energy is back up a bit at 63, but it’s still small and the period is short at 5 seconds.
Finally, Wednesday morning on the 26th offers a similar story: 0.9m (about 3ft) from the SSW, light cross-off wind, and clean conditions. Energy is 62. Surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Bottom line: This is a proper lull. There are no big, powerful swells to get excited about. The 19th morning is the best chance for something with a bit of shape and push, and the glassy mornings on the 23rd and 26th are your best bet for clean, tiny waves. If you’re a beginner, it’s actually perfect for a longboard, but if you’re looking for something over 5ft, you’re out of luck for the next 16 days.
Stay patient,
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.
