Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jailbreaks over the next 16 days.


Alright, let’s break it down for the next stretch. The first week is mostly a bust – tiny swell, cross winds, and stormy afternoons. Then we see a solid run of clean conditions and building size startin’ around the 15th, with the best call well into the second week.

The first real chance is late on Wednesday the 8th of July at Jailbreaks (reef) – a 0.8m SSW groundswell at 14 seconds, but energy is weak (351) and it’s a risk t-storm afternoon with 25 km/h winds. Not worth gettin’ wet for.

Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th see 1.1m to 1.0m SSW swell (14 sec, energy 450-616), but the wind is cross 15-20 km/h with storms. Water temp is 84°, right where it should be for this time of year. Poor surf conditions – skip it.

Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th drop to 0.7-0.9m from the S, still cross winds, still weak energy (220-342). Nothin’ there.

Monday the 13th: a little more juice – 1 to 1.3m S swell, period 11-12 sec, energy up to 754 – but cross winds and marginal conditions. You’d be fightin’ bump.

Tuesday the 14th: clean mornin’ with 1.1m from the SSE, 20 km/h cross-offshore. Energy 601. It’s alright.

Now the real standout: Wednesday the 15th of July. Mornin’ and afternoon – just 0.9m, but it’s a long-period SW groundswell (16 seconds droppin’ to 15). Wind is light as a feather from the west (5-10 km/h), cross-offshore, glassy clean. Combined energy is 618 – strong for the size. Forecast says *very good surf conditions*. That reef will be singin’. Crowds can show up here, so get there early. This is the pick of the whole run.

Thursday the 16th: clean again, 1.2m from the SSE (10-11 sec), 10 km/h west wind. Good fun, not a classic.

Friday the 17th through Saturday the 18th: 0.6 to 1.0m, clean, light offshore or cross-off breezes. Nice mellow run.

Sunday the 19th: 1.2m from the SSE, but period shortens to 9 seconds. Still clean and offshore in the morning.

Monday the 20th of July: swell jumps to 1.5m from the S by afternoon, combined energy hits 1164 – that’s strong. Period drops to 11 seconds, wind moderate. Clean but big – only for the experienced.

Tuesday the 21st through Wednesday the 22nd: solid 2-1.7m SSE swell, periods 10-12 seconds, cross-offshore winds, clean. Energy between 680 and 953. Consistent, but the wind picks up a bit (20 km/h).

The last standout is Thursday the 23rd of July mornin’: 1.8m from the SSE (11 sec), light 15 km/h west cross-offshore, clean. Energy 891. Forecast says *very good surf conditions*. That’s a powerful day for advanced surfers, but the afternoon goes cross and gets ragged.

Bottom line: Wednesday the 15th is the gem for shape and perfection. Thursday the 23rd if you want size. First week is a write-off.

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.
