Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.

We’ve got a slow start, but things start to build. The first real window of clean surf kicks off on Tuesday, July 14th. Before that, the weekend and Monday are a write-off – messy winds and poor conditions.

The standout period is definitely the last few days of the forecast, from Thursday, July 24th, right through to Saturday, July 26th. That’s where the magic is.

Let’s start with the early action. On Tuesday, July 14th, Jailbreaks is showing a clean morning with a 4ft SSE swell, period around 11 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the west at 9 mph, so the face will be tidy. The combined energy is moderate at 601. The water temp is 85°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s not a huge day, but it’s a good one to get wet.

Wednesday, July 15th is a real treat. Morning and afternoon both look clean with a 3ft SW swell, but the period jumps to 16 seconds in the morning and 15 in the afternoon. That’s proper groundswell energy, and it’ll wrap in nicely at this reef. Winds are light cross-off from the west at 9 mph. Combined energy is moderate at 584 and 535. This is a day for the experienced crew – the long period will make for some nice, lined-up waves.

Now, the real standout is the last weekend. Friday, July 24th is excellent, with clean offshore winds from the SSW at 6 mph and a 5ft SSE swell in the morning, dropping to 5ft in the afternoon. Combined energy is strong at 697 and 638. That’s a proper day.

But the pick of the bunch is Saturday, July 25th. Morning and afternoon are glassy – winds from the SW and NW at just 3 mph. The swell is a solid 5ft from the SSE, period 10 seconds, with combined energy at 650 and 637. That’s moderate to strong energy, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be absolutely pristine. This is a day for the experienced surfer – 5ft is a bit much for beginners. The swell direction is a touch east of the optimum south, but it’ll still work well at this exposed reef. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

After that, Sunday, July 26th sees the swell holding at 5ft from the SE, but the wind turns cross and cross-on, so the surface gets a bit of texture. Still surfable, but not as clean as the days before.

Overall, the best on offer is Saturday, July 25th at Jailbreaks. Glassy, solid 5ft SSE swell, and strong energy. Get on it.

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.
