The Lowdown
Alright, let's break this down. Honestly, the surf is looking pretty grim for the next couple of weeks. We've got a long stretch of nothing real on the cards.
The first couple of days are just tiny, weak slop. There's a little bit of energy Tuesday morning (12), but it's only 0.4m at a 5-second period. It's clean with offshore wind, but it's not surfable in any meaningful way. Wednesday and Thursday are dead flat.
Friday brings a little pulse, but it's just 0.1m. The period is a bit longer, but there's no power behind it. The energy is only 4. The weekend is more of the same – small, weak, and uninteresting. Saturday has 0.3m, and Sunday has a bit more in the afternoon (0.6m), but the period is still in the doldrums.
Monday the 22nd is the only day that shows any glimmer of hope. The morning has 0.7m of south swell and the energy jumps to 19. It's still small, but it's the most we see all window. The wind is slight offshore, so it might be clean. But don't expect much – it's still a long way from good.
After that, it's a steep decline. We go through some flat days, and the swell that does show up at the end of the month is tiny and weak. The winds start going cross-onshore, which will mess up the surface. Even the glassy morning on the 25th is only 0.1m.
The standout is that Monday the 22nd. It's the best of a bad bunch. But it's still small, and the short period will make it soft and crumbly.
This is a pretty bleak outlook, to be honest. There's a big gap of nothing in the middle there. It's a long stretch of flatness that is pretty normal for this area. You might be better off finding something else to do for a while.

Information about the Jacks Hole Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jacks Hole provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jacks Hole can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jacks Hole 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 (Jacks Hole) 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 Jacks Hole 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.
