The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this outlook for the next couple of weeks isn’t one for the highlight reel. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and often messy surf ahead, with only a couple of very brief, ordinary moments that might get you wet.
First up, we are looking at a real dry spell. Starting from now, we’ve got almost nothing worthwhile for days. The water is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—like stepping into a warm bath.
The first faint glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Sunday morning, August 2nd, at Tybee Pier. Even then, it’s not much to write home about. We’ve got a small 4ft swell coming out of the SE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined wave energy is a moderate 158. The wind will be a light cross-off from the SSW, keeping the surface clean. It’s surfable, but just barely—very ordinary conditions. Not a standout, just the best of a bad bunch.
After that Sunday morning window, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the week and into the next is riddled with tiny waves (mostly 1ft to 2ft), onshore and cross-shore winds, and choppy, poor conditions. There’s a quick peak in energy on Monday morning, August 3rd, with another 3ft swell from the SSE and moderate energy (134), but the cross-shore wind, a moderate breeze, keeps it from being any good. It’s still poor.
The only other session that might be worth a look is on Wednesday morning, August 5th. We get a clean 2ft wave from the SE, with a light cross-off breeze from the WSW. Period is still short at 7 seconds, and the combined energy is low at 51. Surfable, but ordinary.
After that, it’s a long run of nothing—tiny surf, onshore chop, and the occasional clean but flat morning right through to August 12th. Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal. The forecasts can always change, but for now, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the Sunday morning (August 2nd) or Wednesday morning (August 5th) are your only real shots, and even then, keep the expectations on the floor.
Stay patient.

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.
