About This Spot
Tybee Island's pier and sandbars produce wedgy right and left peaks when E/SE swells hit at mid tide. The spot relies on tropical hurricanes and winter nor'easters for consistent surf but can turn on in the fall with chest‑high waves. It's a fun, mellow wave for lower‑intermediate surfers.
Local Etiquette
Respect fishermen and avoid surfing directly under the pier. Locals appreciate a friendly attitude.
