The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise on what’s happening at Little Joes/Between the Jetties. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a long, quiet run with almost nothing worth getting wet for.
From Sunday the 6th through Saturday the 12th, the surf is just plain poor. We’ve got cross-shore and onshore winds kicking up chop and lumps every session. Swell runs from about 2 ft to 4 ft, but the wind just tears it apart. Wave energy sits in that moderate range, around 300 to 500, but it’s all for nothing. Not a single decent line in sight.
Into the second week, Sunday the 13th brings a 4 ft NW windswell at 9 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and still messy. Monday and Tuesday, the 14th and 15th, are more of the same – small and choppy. Water temp is about 56°F, which is a bit colder than average for this time of year, so you’ll want a thick suit.
Now, we do have a couple of flickers. Wednesday the 16th morning: a 3 ft NW windswell at 8 seconds, but the wind goes offshore from the W at just 3 mph. That’s glassy and clean – the cleanest conditions of the whole forecast. But it’s small, so don’t expect much.
The real standout is Monday the 21st. By the afternoon, we’ve got a solid 6 ft W swell rolling in with a 10-second period and a strong wave energy reading of 1071. That’s the biggest, most powerful swell of the entire 16 days. The wind is cross-onshore, which takes the shine off, but if you’re experienced and want some size, this is your window. Anything over 5 ft can be too much for beginners, and 6 ft at a beach/jetty setup is for the experts. Crowds are likely, because this is the only real highlight, and it’s fairly consistent.
So here’s the deal: the first 15 days are a bust. The morning of the 16th is your best chance for a clean, small session. And the 21st is for the crew who want power and size, just be ready for company.
Rusty.
