Alright, I won’t sugarcoat it – L Jetty is in a real dry spell. We’re looking at a solid run of flat or poor days before anything is even worth talking about. For a beach/jetty break, this kind of blank run can happen, but it doesn’t make it any easier to take.
The first time you might even consider getting wet is Friday morning, July 17th. The swell is small, around 3 ft from the SSE, with a light cross-off breeze from the N keeping things tidy. The combined energy is weak at 60. It’s surfable, but it’s the definition of “meh” – small, weak waves that’ll need a longboard.
If you’ve got to pick a session, Saturday morning, July 18th might be the closest thing to a highlight. The swell drops to about 2 ft from the SSE, but the wind is a clean cross-off from the NW. Clean and glassy is a big win for this spot, even if the waves are tiny. The water’s running at 73°, a touch warmer than average, so it’s comfortable. Still, this is just something to do, not something to chase.
And that’s it. The rest of the 16 days are a no-go. There’s no real stand-out swell, no period length to get excited about, no powerful groundswell. Just small, weak energy and tricky winds. The long-range stuff is a complete bust. I’d hang up the board for a couple weeks and wait for a better pattern to show up.

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.
