The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at L Jetty over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ve got to be straight with you – the outlook is pretty grim. We’ve got a big gap of nothing worthwhile before anything even shows a pulse. The first real chance of a wave is Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd of July, and honestly, that’s the only day that’s even worth mentioning.
Wednesday afternoon brings a 6ft swell from the south, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is blowing offshore from the west at 16 mph, which is a major positive – that’s going to keep the surface clean. The water is sitting at 74°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (590). This is a beach and jetty setup, so that short period will keep it from being too straight, and with those offshore winds, it could be a fun little window. The crowd factor is a concern though – it’s often busy here, so be ready to share.
Now, after that Wednesday afternoon pulse, it’s a long, dry spell. From Thursday the 23rd of July right through to the end of the forecast on Thursday the 6th of August, it’s all poor surf conditions. We’re talking tiny, weak waves, mostly under 3ft, with cross-shore or onshore winds messing things up. There’s a few days where it’s glassy or clean, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The combined energy readings are mostly in the double digits, barely a whisper. This is a blank run, plain and simple. For a spot like L Jetty, which is fairly consistent, this is an unusually quiet stretch.
Save your energy for that Wednesday afternoon, and maybe keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change, but right now, it’s a one-day wonder and then a whole lot of nothing.
Rusty.

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