Table - best surf conditions forecast for L Jetty over the next 16 days.
Howdy, Rusty here, and I gotta be blunt – it's a tough stretch ahead for L Jetty. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but the surf just isn't playing ball for most of it. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off, with tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. It's a real dry spell, running from now all the way through until the 25th of July, with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting at a fairly normal 71.6°F for this time of year, so no drama there, but the swell just isn't on.
Now, there's a bit of a glimmer right at the end. On the morning of Sunday the 26th of July, we might finally get a chance. The wind is dead glassy, which is a massive positive, and we'll see a small 2.3ft swell from the SE. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it's not going to be packing much power, and the combined energy is weak (53). The conditions are expected to be "surfable" but ordinary. It's not a standout by any stretch, but it's the only thing on the menu. For a beach and jetty setup, this is the one window to keep an eye on, but don't expect any magic.

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.
