Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jacks Hole over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for Jacks Hole. Let me tell you straight up, it’s looking pretty flat and quiet for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a big gap of nothing before we see anything rideable.
Right off the bat, we’re starting dry. From Tuesday the 7th of July all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 16th, there’s just no surf worth paddling out for. It’s a dead loss. Tiny dribbles and poor conditions are all the forecast is offering, so save your energy.
Then, on the morning of Thursday the 16th, we get a little pulse of life. It’s not a classic by any means, but for Jacks Hole in this window, it’s the best we’ve got. Swell will be coming out of the NE at 4 ft, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 107, which is enough to push some waves through. What makes this session stand out is the wind: a light 9 mph cross-offshore from the SSW. That’ll keep the faces clean. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 62°, which is nice. This is a good option for advanced surfers, and being a reef break, it can handle that short-period energy better than a beach. But don’t expect perfection, it’s a surfable wave but nothing special. Crowds are only *sometimes* an issue here, so you’ll likely have it fairly quiet.
Looking further ahead, there’s nothing else on offer. The rest of the forecast fades back to tiny, weak swell with lousy wind for the most part. It’s a long quiet spell, and that’s just how this area goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, the only window is that Thursday morning.
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.
