Table - best surf conditions forecast for Black Rocks Jetty over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table.
First up, we’ve got Black Rocks Jetty, a reliable reef break that knows how to handle a southwest groundswell. The water’s sitting at 25°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a touch balmy. The real story is the run of clean, glassy conditions on the way. Friday the 10th kicks things off with a light 3ft to 4ft southwest swell, 15 second period, and the wind is either glassy or light offshore. That’s proper surfable stuff for a warmup.
The standout window for the seasoned crew is Sunday the 12th morning. The swell jumps to 8ft from the southwest, still that long 15 second groundswell, and it’s glassy. That’s a whole lot of energy (2756) pushing in, and at that size, this reef is strictly for the advanced surfer. The sets will be meaty and well-spaced, making the paddle out a bit easier between bombs. The energy is running very strong here, so hold on tight.
Monday the 13th keeps the quality high. We’re looking at 7ft in the morning and 7ft in the afternoon, both glassy, with that long period southwest swell. More excellent, powerful surf for those who know what they’re doing. The combined energy is still well into the strong zone (1723 and 1598). Tuesday the 14th drops a touch to 6ft and 5ft, but stays glassy, so it’s still a very good option.
We do get a lull from Friday the 17th through to the weekend of the 19th. The swell drops to under 3ft, and the conditions are mixed. It’s not a total write-off, but there’s a gap of a few days where the surf is pretty ordinary. Then things fire back up for the following week. Monday the 20th sees a return of 4ft to 5ft southwest swell with glassy conditions, a solid bet. But if you’ve got your eye on something bigger, Tuesday the 21st brings back 6ft from the southwest, glassy again, for another excellent session for experienced surfers. That one’s a long-range standout – promising, but keep an eye on it as it gets closer.
Overall, the best of the lot is that Sunday the 12th morning session: big, clean, and powerful. A close second is Monday the 13th for that back-to-back quality.
Stay stoked, catch you out there.
