The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next sixteen days look pretty flat for Tybee Pier. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing special, so don’t get your hopes up for any real action.
The water is sitting at 87°F right now, which is way warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a full 5°F above the norm, so it’s a bit of a bath out there.
Right now, through the end of August, it’s a total write-off. The swell is tiny, barely 0.7ft to 2ft, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, chopping things up. The combined energy is weak, in the teens and twenties (20, 19, 31). Not worth paddling out for.
We’ve got a bit of a stretch from Thursday the 27th through the weekend, but it’s still poor. Thursday morning, the 27th, you’ll see a measly 2ft of swell from the south, with a short period of 5 seconds. The energy bumps up a tiny bit to 47, but it’s still weak. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are just ordinary. Afternoon gets choppy again.
The first week of September is more of the same. There’s a glimmer on Wednesday morning, September 2nd. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell is 1ft from the ESE, with a period of 13 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, but it’s tiny. The energy is 85, still weak. It’s clean, but you’ll be scratching for anything.
The best-looking morning of the whole run is Friday, September 4th. We’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE, period 10 seconds, and a clean offshore wind from the WNW. The energy is 44, so still weak. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Nothing here stands out as a true standout. The biggest swell we see is 3ft on Saturday afternoon, September 5th, but it’s an onshore wind from the ESE, 16 mph, and the period is a short 7 seconds. That’s a messy, choppy, blown-out mess. The combined energy hits 101 (moderate), but the conditions are poor. It’s more of a kite-surfing wind than a paddling wave.
So, honestly, save your energy. There’s a long gap of flatness. The only mornings with clean, surfable—but very ordinary—conditions are a few scattered days. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a slow one.
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.
