Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s happening at Jailbreaks over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. There’s some swell around, but it’s not coming together. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Friday, July 16th. Before that, we’re looking at a long stretch of days with marginal conditions and poor surf quality, so don’t get your hopes up for the first week and a half.

The water here is sitting at 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

The standout period is definitely from the morning of Friday, July 16th through to the afternoon of Friday, July 17th. That’s when we finally get some proper, clean surf. The swell hangs around 3ft to 4ft from the SSW, with a period around 14 to 15 seconds. That’s a nice long-period groundswell, giving you good shape and energy. The winds turn offshore or cross-offshore, keeping the waves clean and lined up. The combined swell energy is solid, in the 560 to 854 range. Expect very good surf conditions.

If you can only pick one session, the morning of Thursday, July 16th looks the best. Light offshore wind from the SW, 4ft of swell from the SW, and that 15-second period. It’ll be glassy, clean, and punchy. A real treat after the flat spell.

After that, conditions start to drop off again by Saturday the 18th, with smaller swell and weaker energy. So make the most of that 16th and 17th – that’s your window.

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.
