Table - best surf conditions forecast for Black Rocks Jetty over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down what's cooking at Black Rocks Jetty.
We've got a slow start, nothing worth paddling out for until Wednesday morning. The first decent look is Wednesday, July 8th. There's a south swell running about 5ft, but the wind is a light cross-onshore from the SSW, so it's not going to be that clean. Water temp is around 77°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Thursday, July 9th, wakes up clean with a 3ft south swell and glassy conditions in the morning. It's small but rideable. The afternoon drops to 3ft and turns glassy again, but it's just small and ordinary.
Now, Friday, July 10th, is the one to circle. The morning brings a 3ft SW groundswell with a very long 15-second period, and it's dead glassy under clear skies. The combined energy is moderate (392). For a reef break, this is a standout. That long period means smooth, lined-up waves and easy paddling. The afternoon kicks in with a bit more push, same 3ft swell and clean conditions. This is the best of the first week, hands down.
Saturday, July 11th, the swell builds to 5ft from the SW, still that very long 15-second period, but the wind goes cross-on from the south, making it a bit lumpy. The energy jumps to strong (1093). It's surfable, but not as clean as Friday.
Sunday, July 12th, the swell hits 8ft from the SW with cross winds and increasing chop. This is big, expert-only territory and a bit of a mess.
Monday, July 13th, is a great call for experienced surfers. A 7ft SW swell with a 14-second period and glassy conditions in the morning. The energy is strong (1592). The afternoon is even better with 6ft and zero wind. This is another proper standout session for those who can handle it.
The rest of that week into the weekend holds some clean 5ft to 5ft SW swells, but nothing really hits the highs of Friday and Monday.
Looking further out to the 20th and 21st of July, there's some serious power showing. Monday, July 20th, has a 7ft to 8ft SW groundswell with glassy conditions and very strong energy (2387-2583). This is an excellent forecast for experienced surfers, a big long-range promise but keep a watch on it. Tuesday the 21st cleans up in the afternoon with a 7ft SW swell and glassy wind.
The rest of the period fades back to smaller, cleaner 4ft to 3ft swells. Nothing exciting, just everyday waves.
The real standouts are that Friday, July 10th, for the clean, long-period groundswell on a reef, and Monday, July 13th, for the bigger, clean conditions for experienced surfers. That Monday the 20th is a big one to keep on the radar.
Rusty.
