Current Surf Conditions

Last updated: May 22, 2026 at 4:02 PM EDT

Sandbridge Pier is holding good waves with solid energy from the northeast swell. The swell is a bit oversized but still manageable, and the tide is dropping near low, which keeps the lineup more playful. The wind from the northeast at 15 mph is wrecking surface conditions, making it tough to find clean waves despite decent swell. If you can handle some wind chop, there's still enough swell here to get a few solid rides.

Quick Conditions Snapshot

6 ft northeast swell at 6 seconds, northeast wind at 15 mph, dropping tide near 2 ft, water temperature 63°F, air temperature 64°F.

Sandbridge Pier Local Weather
