Alright, grab your wettie, let's have a look at what's on the cards.

Looks like we've got a solid run of waves coming through here at Black Rocks Jetty. It's a reef setup that's very consistent and works best on a SW swell. The water temp is doing its own thing, nothing crazy, just about what you'd expect for this time of year. The first few days are shaping up nicely, but we've got some absolute gems hiding in the second week that are worth keeping an eye on.

The action kicks off on Tuesday the 7th. Morning session sees a clean 5ft S swell, with a cross-off ESE breeze keeping things tidy. The energy is pumping at 1517, plenty of push for an experienced surfer. By the afternoon, it jumps up to 10ft from the same direction, still clean but that's getting into "experienced only" territory. That's a proper dose of energy at 3862.

Wednesday the 8th brings a glassy start with a 5ft S swell and light airs, perfect conditions for a paddle out. But the real standout for this first week is the weekend, Saturday the 11th. The morning is a gem: a 5ft SW swell, glassy, no wind at all, and that long 15-second period. The energy reads 1095 and it's gonna be smooth, powerful, and clean.

Things get even more interesting on Sunday the 12th. The morning has a glassy 7ft SW swell with that same long 15-second period, energy at 2089. That's a lot of power, and with those conditions, it's a session for the confident surfer. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-shore wind, so get it early.

Now, hold onto your board for this one. The true standout of the whole forecast lands on Sunday the 19th. The morning delivers an exceptional 8ft S swell with a 19-second period, glassy conditions, and an energy reading of 6476. This is for experts only. It's going to be a heavy, powerful groundswell. The afternoon holds a 10ft S swell at 4426, still glassy, still clean. This is the kind of day you clear your calendar for. The following Monday and Tuesday keep the quality high with dropping swell but still glassy and clean.

Right, here's the kicker: there's a gap from the start of the forecast up until the 7th, so no surf to recommend before that. The swell direction matches the optimum SW, so the jetty is going to handle this swell very well. It's a reef, so those long-period swells (over 15 seconds) will be at their best here but expect some lengthy lulls between the sets. Keep an eye on the crowd situation too, as it can get busy here sometimes.

Stay stoked, catch you in the water.

A general guide to surfing at Black Rocks Jetty can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
