Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, let's get into this for Jennette’s Pier.
Truth is, this next couple of weeks is going to be frustratingly flat. There’s a big, quiet gap with nothing worth paddling out for from now well into mid-July. What we’ve got is a whole lot of just-about-breaking stuff.
The closest thing to a pulse comes on Tuesday, the 14th of July. On Tuesday morning, we’ll see a tiny 2ft easterly swell, with a period around 8 seconds. The wind is light out of the SSW, keeping the surface clean. The combined energy is a measly 77. You could get a surfable wave out of it, but it will be a low-quality, underpowered affair.
The water feels pretty normal for this time of year.
Come Tuesday afternoon, the wind shifts onshore and picks up, messing things up completely. From Wednesday, the 15th, all the way through to the end on the 21st, it’s a washout. We get a steady diet of weak, short-period windswell and strong, messy wind. Most days the combined energy stays under 50, and the top we see is 68, which is still weak. The wind is mostly from the side or onshore, ruining any chance of decent shape.
Wednesday morning the 15th brings a 35 km/h cross-wind. Unless you’ve got a kite, just stay home. Even the clean-looking days with offshore wind on the 19th and 20th have waves that are too small to push.
Jennette’s Pier is just not firing. The typical consistency isn't there, and honestly, a stretch like this is pretty normal for around here. You’ve just gotta be patient and wait for a better forecast to roll in.

A general guide to surfing at Jennette's Pier can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Jennette's Pier 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.
