Table - best surf conditions forecast for Black Rocks Jetty over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Black Rocks Jetty.
We’ve got a very promising run of surf starting this Thursday, but it’s a tale of two halves. The first few days are looking absolutely magic, with clean, glassy conditions and building swell. Then Sunday brings a bit of a mess, but the quality returns for the following week. The standout session is without a doubt Saturday, July 11th.
Thursday, July 9th kicks things off with some small but clean waves. Morning sees a 3ft S swell at 10 seconds with glassy conditions – perfect for a longboard or a funboard. The afternoon stays clean with a slight 3ft S swell. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Friday, July 10th is a step up. Morning starts glassy with a 3ft SW groundswell at 15 seconds. That’s a proper long-period swell, which will bring in nicely at this reef setup. The afternoon is even better: 4ft from the SW with a 14-second period, still glassy. The energy is building – we’re seeing moderate wave energy (550) in the afternoon.
Now, Saturday, July 11th is the real deal. Morning brings 5ft of SW groundswell, 15-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is strong (1132). This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The afternoon is even better – 6ft SW, 15-second period, still glassy, with very strong energy (1361). This is the pick of the entire forecast. It’s a bit too big for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is going to be firing. The wind is nil, the swell direction is perfect for the break, and the period is long and juicy. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Sunday, July 12th is a write-off. The swell jumps to 8ft in the morning, but the wind swings cross-onshore from the SSE at 9 mph, making it choppy. The afternoon isn’t much better. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Monday, July 13th is a return to form. Morning sees 7ft SSW swell with a 14-second period and clean cross-offshore winds. This is excellent for experienced surfers, with strong energy (1813). The afternoon is a bit more marginal with a light cross-onshore breeze, but still surfable.
Tuesday, July 14th is good again. Morning is glassy with 6ft SSW swell, 13 seconds. The afternoon gets a bit messy with onshore wind.
The rest of the week into the following week has pulses of clean surf, but nothing beats that Saturday. Wednesday the 15th has a glassy 5ft SSW swell, and Thursday the 16th has small 3ft glassy conditions. The following week (July 20th and 21st) shows some promising pulses of bigger swell with clean winds, but it’s a long way off so keep an eye on it.
All in all, the next few days are a gift. Get on it Saturday.
Rusty.
