About Little Tybee
Facing, offshore wind, exposure, level and swell range are estimated.
The spot faces E (87°), so it takes swell from the E. The wind blows offshore from the W (267°). It is exposed to the open swell. It suits intermediate surfers and up. It works in 3–10 ft of swell. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 2.4 km out (1 in 238). On a typical 5 ft, 11 s swell the waves here would spill softly. The sea is about 13°C in February, its coldest month (4/3 wetsuit and boots), and 30°C in July, its warmest (no wetsuit). For intermediate surfers the best months are usually January and December, with about 1 good days in 7. From the weather of past years. The town to stay in is Tybee Island, 2.6 km away (about 5 min by car). Within 5 km we also list 4 surf spots.
Water about 19°C: 2 mm shorty. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
