The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
Alright, let's be straight with you – this is a tough outlook for Little Joes/Between the Jetties. The whole 16-day window is pretty grim. We've got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about, with a whole lot of poor surf conditions and sketchy winds making it hard to find a decent window.
The water is sitting at a very unusual 51°, which is a massive 6° colder than normal for this time of year. That's way out of the ordinary, so if you're paddling out, you'll feel that bite.
Looking at the first real chance – Saturday afternoon, July 25th – we finally get a little something. The swell is 3 ft from the SW with a 21-second period, which is a proper long-period groundswell. That’s a good sign for shape and energy, with combined swell energy of 885 (moderate energy). The wind goes glassy, WSW at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean. It's a beach/jetty setup, so that long period might make it a bit straight, but with glassy conditions, it's the best on offer. This is the standout.
Sunday morning, July 26th, has a bit more size at 4 ft from the SW, 19-second period, and combined energy of 927 (moderate). But the wind is cross-on from the NW at 6 mph, which will put a bit of a bump on it. Sunday afternoon clears up, with 3 ft swell and energy of 1029 (moderate), but still cross-on wind. Not as clean as Saturday.
After that, it's a downhill slide. From Monday, July 27th, right through to the end of the forecast on August 6th, the conditions are poor. The wind stays strong and cross or cross-on from the NNW, with speeds ramping up to 18–25 mph. The swell drops to 2 ft–2 ft for a while, then later in the first week of August we get a bit of a bump in size – 4 ft to 6 ft – but the period is short at 6–8 seconds, and the wind is ugly. Combined energy gets up to 359 (weak) but the chop and lump will make it a mess. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
So, to sum it up: Saturday afternoon, July 25th, is your one true standout. Glassy, clean, and a little bit of energy. After that, you're waiting a long time with nothing worth chasing.
Rusty.
