The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what’s cookin’ for Fish Pass Jetty.
Honestly, mate, I gotta be straight with ya – this 16-day stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a whole lot of nothin’ for a long while. The surf is mostly small, weak, and messy, with onshore winds messing up what little bump there is. The first real chance of anything ridable doesn't even show up until Friday the 18th, and even then it’s a bit of a stretch. There are long gaps of flat, poor conditions, especially from now through to the middle of next week.
The only time the ocean shows a little bit of life is on Friday, September 18th, in the morning. The combined swell energy bumps up to a moderate 150, with a 4ft swell coming from the east at a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The wind is light and onshore, which is better than the fresh breezes we see later, but it's not glassy. It’s still described as “poor surf conditions,” so don’t expect any gems. It’s a beach and jetty setup, so that short-period east swell isn’t going to wrap in with any magic.
Beyond that, things fade right back out. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal, about 86°, but that doesn't help the lack of waves. From Saturday the 19th onward, the swell drops into the basement – tiny 0.7ft to 3ft waves with barely any energy (combined energy values in the teens and single digits). A few mornings, like Thursday the 17th and Wednesday the 23rd, will be glassy, but with nothing to ride.
If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets over 5ft, so it’s not dangerous, but it’s too small to learn on properly. For everyone else, this is a classic “leave the board in the car” kind of fortnight. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle, if you can handle the light winds. The best advice? Keep an eye on the forecast, because it tends not to stay this poor forever.
Rusty.
