The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Corona Del Mar Jetty over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag. The good news is there’s swell in the water, but the quality is a bit of a struggle. The water is sitting at 71° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath! For the first week, the surf is small and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s going to be pretty average. The combined energy is moderate, ranging from 489 to 933 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some push, but the wind is spoiling it.
The standout in the whole 16-day window is Friday, the 31st of July. We’ve got a solid pulse of swell coming in – 6ft to 6ft from the S. The energy jumps right up to 1249 to 1443 (strong to very strong wave energy), which is the most powerful we’ll see. The period is 14 seconds, so it’s a nice groundswell. The wind on Friday afternoon goes cross-shore, which is a big plus. It’s going to be a bit more size, but with the period and that wind direction, the Jetty could offer up some clean, fun waves. It’s a breakwater setup, so a long period swell like this will wrap in nicely. The crowds are often a problem here, so expect it to be busy, but it’s the best call in the whole run.
Saturday the 1st of August is still hanging on to some decent size (5ft from the S), but the energy drops off to 907 (moderate) and the wind goes back to cross-onshore, so it won’t be as clean as Friday.
After the 1st of August, the window goes dry. From Sunday the 2nd of August all the way through to Saturday the 8th of August, the swell drops right off. Energy levels fall below 100 (weak wave energy) and the surf is tiny – 1ft to 2ft. The wind stays mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s a real flat spell. Nothing doing for paddle surfing there.
So, bottom line: Friday the 31st of July is the one to circle. Get on it early or late to avoid the crowds, because the rest of the 16 days is pretty grim.
Rusty.

Information about the Corona Del Mar Jetty Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Corona Del Mar Jetty provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Corona Del Mar 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 Corona Del Mar 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
