Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jacks Hole over the next 16 days.
Right, I’ve been staring at the charts for Jacks Hole for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a pretty bleak picture. The whole 16-day window looks like a write-off for any decent surf. You’re looking at a long gap with nothing to get excited about.
We start off on Friday the 10th of July with a tiny 0.3ft south swell, but the wind is a messy cross-shore and the combined energy is a weak 5. It’s just poor surf conditions. That sets the tone for the next week. We get a bit of a bump in size around the 13th and 14th with some 3ft to 4ft north-northeast swells, but the period is short, around 5 seconds, and the wind is constantly cross or cross-onshore, creating a lumpy chop. The combined energy creeps up to a moderate 98 on the 13th, but it’s still a messy, weak, short-period swell with poor conditions.
The pattern continues right through the second week. There’s a bit more energy on the 18th of July, with a 4ft swell from the north-northeast and a moderate 105 combined energy, but again, the wind is a moderate cross-shore, and the period is a poor 6 seconds. It’s just not coming together. The last few days of the window, from the 22nd to the 25th, see the swell drop right back to tiny 0.3ft to 1ft, and while there are a few moments of glassy or clean conditions, there’s simply no wave energy to work with.
There are no standout days here. The water temperature doesn’t even come into play because there’s no surf worth mentioning. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those days with stronger winds and a bit of a chop might be of interest, but for paddle surfing, there’s nothing on offer. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a complete blank run.

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.
