Alright, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the table for Jailbreaks over the next couple of weeks. Let’s get straight into it.

Right off the bat, the start of the week is a bit of a letdown. Monday through Wednesday we’re looking at pretty weak, messy conditions with tiny little waves around 2 ft and cross-shore winds making things choppy. The energy is low (256) and the water is sitting at a normal 84°, but there’s just no quality to chase. It’s a write-off for the paddle crew through the first few days.

Things start to perk up on Thursday morning, the 9th. Swell jumps to 4 ft from the SSW with a solid 15-second period, and we’ve got clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze. Wave energy is pumping up to (701). That’s where you want to start paying attention.

Friday the 10th slips back a bit, but the real interest is on Sunday the 13th. Monday morning the 13th has a clean 4 ft S swell and light cross-off wind. Then on Tuesday the 14th, same deal – 3 ft, clean, very good conditions. It’s consistent and clean, but nothing’s blowing the doors off.

Now, circle Thursday the 16th of July. That morning we’ve got true offshore wind from the S at just 3 mph, glassy clean conditions, and a long period 2 ft SSW groundswell at 14 seconds. It’s small but perfect. But if you want the standout window, look at Friday the 17th through Saturday the 18th. Friday morning brings a clean 4 ft SSW swell, period 17 seconds, offshore wind and wave energy at (895). Saturday afternoon gets *excellent*: 5 ft, clean offshore wind, energy at (1009). That’s top-tier, but with that size and power, it’s experts-only. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue at Jailbreaks.

After that, the swell stays good but backs off through the 20th and 21st, with cleaner smaller waves but energy fading back toward moderate levels. The overall call: the best of this run is hands-down Saturday afternoon, July 18th at Jailbreaks. Big clean SSW swell, light offshore breeze, and that spot absolutely loves a S-SSW direction. If you can handle it, that’s the session.

Rusty.

Information about the Jailbreaks Surf forecast

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