Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Jacks Hole for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough outlook. We are looking at a massive dry spell from the 3rd of July all the way to the 18th of July. That’s over two weeks with nothing to ride. Every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions, and the combined swell energy is practically non-existent for most of it. You’re better off finding something else to do.
The only sign of life appears on Saturday the 18th of July. Saturday morning we get a 3ft swell from the south with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy finally ticks up to 111 - that’s moderate energy. By Saturday afternoon it builds to 6ft from the south, period at 6 seconds, and the energy hits 191. The catch? The wind is light cross-onshore in the morning and turns into a gentle cross-onshore in the afternoon, so it’s going to be a bit choppy. That 6ft is getting into expert-only territory for most, but for the crew that can handle it, that’s your only real chance.
A long flat stretch like this is pretty normal for this area. It’s not usually pumping here, so a blank run isn’t a surprise. Things could change, but for now, leave the board 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.
