The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here, breaking it down for Tybee Pier. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat, so don’t get your hopes up for any big rides.
The overall picture is weak. The combined swell energy is barely pushing into the double digits (26), and wave heights are just sad. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
From Tuesday the 14th through the 20th, it’s all poor. Tiny, weak swell from the SE or S, with periods as short as 4 seconds. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, making it choppy. There’s a glassy morning on the 15th, but with only 0.7ft of swell, it’s not worth the drive.
The one small standout is the morning of Tuesday the 21st of July. The energy finally cracks 50 (51), and the conditions are glassy with a light offshore wind. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the SSE, so it’s only for the true small-wave lovers. It’ll be clean, but weak and inconsistent. The crowd at Tybee Pier can be “sometimes” busy, so you might have company.
The rest of the week through the 29th is more of the same: clean mornings here and there, but with tiny swell (1ft to 2ft) and low energy. The 26th of July morning has a little longer period at 9 seconds, but still only 1ft. It’s a quiet stretch. If you’re a beginner just wanting to bob around in clean water, the 21st morning is your moment. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
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.
