Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s shaping up for Black Rocks Jetty.
The outlook for this spot is a proper mixed bag, but there are some absolute gems hiding in there, especially for the crew with a bit of experience under their belt. The water is sitting around 77°, which is a touch warmer than you’d normally expect for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus.
Monday kicks things off, but honestly, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a solid 7ft SW swell on the Monday morning, but with a 16 mph southerly smacking across the face, it’s just messy. The energy is massive (1454), but the quality is zero. That afternoon is much the same story. Best to give it a miss.
Tuesday, the 7th of July, is where the first real light appears. The morning cross-off breeze cleans it right up, dropping the swell to 5ft from the south. It’s still a bit marginal, but you can feel the change coming. Then Tuesday afternoon is a standout. The swell jumps to 10ft from the south with a 12-second period, and with a light cross-off breeze, the energy is pumping at 3703. This is serious, experienced-only territory. That’s a heavy, powerful wave.
Wednesday the 8th offers up some beauty. The morning is glassy, dead calm, with 5ft of south swell (639 energy). It’s clean as a whistle. Perfect for the intermediate crowd to get amongst it. The afternoon holds that glassy feel, dropping slightly to 5ft.
Thursday and Friday are smaller. Thursday morning still glassy at 3ft, but fading. Friday, however, brings back that long-period goodness. A 3ft SW swell with a 15-second period (388 energy) and glassy conditions in the morning. It’ll be clean, but that long period can make it wall up a bit at breaks, so keep your wits about you. The afternoon glass-off on Friday is a nice little session too with 4ft and 14-second period.
Saturday the 11th is a solid call. Morning is glassy, 5ft with that deep 15-second period (973 energy). It cleans up beautifully. The afternoon is even better; an excellent 5ft from the SW with a 14-second period, glassy, and a crowd-pleasing 1034 energy score. This is the weekend winner.
Sunday the 12th, the swell builds. Morning is 7ft from the SW (2089 energy), still glassy but that is a serious expert-only wave size. It gets a bit lumpy in the afternoon with a light cross-onshore wind.
Next week keeps the pulse going. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th both offer excellent, glassy conditions in the 6ft to 5ft range. Clean, consistent, and a lot more manageable. Wednesday the 15th has a fantastic afternoon: 4ft from the south with a very long 16-second period, cross-off winds, and 1142 energy. That’s a proper runner, a true standout for the second week.
The second week fades a little toward the end. From the 16th onward, you get some smaller, glassy days, but nothing that will pull you out of bed. Then, look out for the 19th of July. The afternoon shows a massive 10ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period, but the wind is messy and cross. The energy is astronomical at 4363, but the quality is questionable. The Monday morning after that (20th July) is where you want to be: 8ft from the SSW, glassy, and 2233 energy. Excellent, heavy, and for experts only. The 21st is just as good. 8ft, 16-second period SSW groundswell, glassy, with 2513 energy. That is a powerful, clean session.
The absolute best on offer for experienced surfers is the Tuesday afternoon on the 7th of July — that 10ft, clean, powerful groundswell is a beast. For the rest of us, the standout has to be Saturday the 11th of July; both the morning and afternoon sessions are clean, fun, and with enough push to get you stoked without putting you in the hospital. Crowds are something you’ll have to deal with here at Black Rocks Jetty; it’s a popular spot.
