The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at the coming weeks.
To be straight with you, the immediate outlook is pretty grim. We’ve got a solid, long-period SW groundswell running through the forecast period, but the wind is a nightmare for the next week and a half. It’s cross-on or onshore almost every session, which is going to chop up that potential. The water is sitting at 89° – that’s a solid 4° warmer than usual, so it’s already feeling a lot more like a bath than a proper surf session.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is hiding right at the end. Mark your calendar for Monday, August 3rd, early morning. Jacarandas is a point break, so it’s built to handle a good SW groundswell, and it’s consistent. The swell direction is straight from the SW, which is exactly what this spot wants. You’re looking at 7ft of solid groundswell, with a period of 13 seconds. But the real kicker? The wind is forecast to be glassy. Absolutely glassy. That’s the magic moment. The combined swell energy is strong at 1481, and for an experienced surfer, this is going to be the best of the bunch. The rest of the windows are a write-off for clean conditions.
For the first week, from Monday the 20th through to the end of July, it’s a battle. The swell is there, but the wind is relentless. Tuesday morning the 21st starts with a 4ft SW swell at 15 seconds, but it’s cross-on and choppy. Wednesday the 22nd shows a bit of promise with a 5ft SW swell and a light onshore breeze, but it’s still marginal. The wind just doesn’t let up. By Saturday the 25th, the swell picks up to 4ft with a long 19-second period, and by Sunday the 26th it’s 4ft at 18 seconds, but the wind stays cross-on. The wave energy goes from moderate to strong (686 up to 1214), but the quality is poor. The following week, into the start of August, the swell gets bigger, hitting 8ft on the 29th, but it’s still cross-on and choppy. The energy is very strong (2669), but it’s a messy, blown-out scene. For a point break, the long-period swell is a gift, but not when it’s being shredded by the wind.
So, to sum it up: the first 13 days are a frustrating wait. The surf is there, but it’s not clean. Hold out for that glassy Monday morning on August 3rd at Jacarandas. That’s the one.
Rusty.

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.
