Amelia Pier is considered the best surf spot on Amelia Island, where the pier structure focuses wave energy into better-shaped peaks than the open beach stretches. Located on South Fletcher Avenue, it produces big surf that can be found on most tides depending on conditions. When a solid NE swell hits, the pier area delivers some of the island's most consistent and rideable waves.
Wave heights shown are breaking wave heights — the actual rideable wave size at this spot.
The current wave height at Amelia Pier is 1ft with a 6.85s swell period. Wind is ENE at 7mph and conditions are rated Very Poor. The forecast updates hourly so you can plan your session around the cleanest windows.
The current breaking wave height at Amelia Pier is 1ft, produced by a 0.3ft NNE primary swell at 3s, a 1.3ft ESE wind swell swell at 7s. Breaking wave height is the actual rideable wave size at the shore — calculated from offshore swell data using this spot's coastal bathymetry — not the raw buoy reading.
