L Jetty Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me take a look at what we’ve got here for L Jetty over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak stretch. The entire 16-day window is pretty much one long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. There’s no standout session, no hidden gem, just a whole lot of flat or messy conditions. For L Jetty, this kind of blank run is more normal than unusual – it’s a spot that needs a lot of things to line up.

Looking at the details, the first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th have small, weak swell around 3ft to 4ft, but it’s short-period windswell (6-7 seconds) with cross-onshore winds, so it’s just choppy and poor. Combined energy is weak to moderate at best. Nothing to get excited about.

Thursday the 9th morning is the closest thing to a glimmer. The swell drops to 2ft from the east with an 8-second period, and there’s a light cross-offshore breeze, making it clean for a brief moment. The combined energy is weak though. *Surfable but very ordinary* is about right – you might get a few knee-high lumps, but that’s it.

From Friday the 10th right through to Monday the 22nd, it’s tiny – mostly under 2ft, with onshore or cross-onshore wind, and combined energy barely cracking 50 most days. It’s flat, it’s messy, and the few moments of clean conditions (like Sunday evening the 19th with a gentle offshore) have nothing to push through. The swell is just too small.

One note: even on the 21st and 22nd when the swell bumps up to 3ft-4ft again, it’s straight onshore and short period, so it’s going to be poor quality, lumpy, and blown out.

So to sum it up – don’t bother. There’s no surf worth chasing here. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, L Jetty is a no-go. Things might change, but as it stands, it’s a solid two-week flat spell.

Rusty.
