Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright, let’s talk about Black Rocks Jetty. It’s a reef break that fires on a solid SW groundswell, and it’s very consistent. The water temp is average for the time of year, nothing wild.

The forecast starts slow, but there’s a killer run from Saturday the 11th of July through to Wednesday the 15th. That’s your window.

Sunday the 5th has some size – 4ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, but the cross-on S wind is mucking it up with moderate energy (1472). Monday the 6th is a no-go with fresh cross-onshore winds and choppy, lumpy conditions. Tuesday the 7th has a huge 10ft S swell at 12 seconds and a massive 3887 energy, but it’s bumpy from cross-shore winds.

The real score starts Wednesday the 8th of July morning – glassy, a clean 5ft S swell at 11 seconds, and moderate energy (679). Then Saturday the 11th of July is a banger. The morning is glassy with a 6ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds (1311 energy). The afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore N wind and a 7ft SW swell at 15 seconds (1860 energy). That’s the pick of the weekend.

Sunday the 12th of July morning is mint – dead calm, glassy, and a solid 8ft SW swell at 14 seconds (2390 energy). That’s a serious swell, expert only. Then Wednesday the 15th of July afternoon is another cracker – dead calm, glassy, with a 6ft SSW swell at 15 seconds (1569 energy).

So the winners are Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th of July. The real standout is Saturday the 11th of July afternoon with that 7ft clean swell. The second week from the 16th onwards is smaller and more average, so get it while you can.

Information about the Black Rocks Jetty Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Black Rocks Jetty provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Black Rocks Jetty can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Black Rocks Jetty 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 (Black Rocks Jetty) 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 Black Rocks Jetty 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.
