The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple weeks at Jacarandas.
This stretch is a classic case of the ocean *almost* getting it right. There’s a long-run SW groundswell feeding in the whole time, but the wind is nearly always cross-onshore or side-off, so it’s hard to find a truly clean face. The middle of the period has some real weight behind it, but the quality just doesn’t match the energy.
First up, Sunday morning, September 13th, we’ve got a little 2ft SW groundswell running at a long 13-second period. The wind is light offshore from the W, so it’ll look pretty. Water temp is 90°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus. The combined energy is weak (213), so it’s more about the vibe than the power.
The best bet comes around Wednesday morning, September 16th, when the swell hits 4ft from the SW with a 16-second period. That’s the biggest and most energetic window, with moderate energy (737). The wind is light cross-onshore again—if it flipped offshore, this would be the day. Crowds can be a factor here, so be ready to share.
There’s another pulse Sunday morning, September 20th, with 3ft, 19-second groundswell and good energy (822), but again, light cross-onshore wind. The period is so long it might make the waves a bit too straight for some spots, but a point break could still offer a long ride.
After that, it’s much the same: waist-high to head-high, long-period SW swell, with a crummy cross-shore wind. The second week tails off with shorter periods and weaker energy, so don’t get too excited for the back half.
If I were you, I’d chase the Wednesday September 16th morning or the Sunday September 20th morning. Neither are firing on all cylinders, but they’re the best we’ve got. Watch the wind—if it cleans up, this place will turn on.
Rusty out.

Information about the Jacarandas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jacarandas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jacarandas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jacarandas surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jacarandas) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Jacarandas 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.
