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.
