The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this stretch of the Georgia coast.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run for Tybee Pier. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle to find anything worth paddling out for. The first few days are a total write-off. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of until we get into the second week. The water is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that won’t do you any good with the waves we’re seeing.
The only real glimmer of hope in this whole outlook shows up on the morning of Sunday, the 13th of September. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and we see a tiny 3 ft swell coming from the ENE. It’s got a short period, though, so don’t expect any punch. The combined energy is a weak 71 (so really mellow). The report says it’s “surfable but very ordinary,” and honestly, that’s a generous take. It’s the only window that’s even close to rideable, but it’s for beginners only – that size is safe and friendly. Don’t expect any sort of quality.
For the rest of the forecast, it’s a mix of onshore winds, risk of storms, and tiny, weak swell. The morning of Thursday, the 17th of September, sees a bump in swell height to 5 ft from the ENE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 284 (moderate), which sounds promising, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the NE, making it lumpy and a mess. The conditions are still rated as poor. That’s about as big as it gets, but it’s not clean. The same goes for the afternoon of the 17th – 5 ft, but onshore wind kills it.
Bottom line: If you’re desperate, the morning of the 13th is your only real shot, and it’s a gentle one. Otherwise, this is a classic quiet spell for the area. It’s a good time to work on the gear or just enjoy the beach, because the surf is not cooperating.

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.
