Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Jacks Hole.
Honestly, mate, it's a bit of a grim stretch ahead. We're looking at a long, flat spell to start. From now through the 10th of July, there's nothing doing – just tiny dribbles. We're talking over a week of waiting for anything that even looks like a wave. The first real window doesn't open up until the 11th of July, and even then it's not a pretty picture.
On Saturday the 11th of July, we get a bump from the NE, pushing to about 2ft, but it's short-period windswell (5 seconds) and the wind is howling cross-shore at 16 mph. The combined energy is only weak (28), so it'll be messy. Not one for the paddle.
We get another little pulse on the 16th of July, Thursday morning. A 3ft, short-period (4 seconds) N swell with a cross breeze. The energy is still weak (30). It's a beach-and-reef setup, and with that wind, it's looking a lot more like a kite-surfing session than a clean surf.
Truth is, there's not a single standout in this 16-day window. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but that's the only thing that's normal. For an advanced reef break like Jacks Hole, we need some size and decent direction, but this run is offering none of that. The best you can hope for is a few tiny, clean waves on Tuesday morning the 14th of July with glassy conditions (0.3ft from the S, 18 seconds), but you'd be surfing for the vibe, not the ride.
So, we're in a flat spell. It happens. Forecasts can change, but for now, the board stays in the car.
Rusty.

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.
