The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Little Joes/Between the Jetties is a tough one to call. The whole run is a write-off for anything worth paddling for. From Friday the 31st of July right through to Saturday the 15th of August, we’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions. That’s a massive gap of over two weeks with no real window to surf. The only break on the cards is Little Joes, a beach/jetty setup that’s fairly consistent, but that doesn’t mean a thing when the wind and waves won’t cooperate.
The pattern is ugly. The wind is locked in from the north-northwest and north, blowing cross or cross-onshore, and it’s strong – 12 mph to 28 mph most days. That’s a strong breeze, and it’s gonna leave the water lumpy and messy with cross-chop. The swell sticks around, but it’s mostly from the northwest, with heights ranging from 2 ft to 6.2 ft and periods of 7 to 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate to strong (222 to 871), but with that wind, it’s just a washing machine. The water temp is 57.7°F with a 0.9°F anomaly, so pretty average for the time of year, but you won’t be feeling it from the beach.
Around the 12th of August, we see a shift to a longer-period swell from the west-southwest at 15-18 seconds, with heights of 1.6 ft to 2 ft. That’s a groundswell, but it’s tiny and the wind is still hammering it. For a beach/jetty break, long-period swells can be too straight, and with the cross-shore wind, it’s a no-go. Honestly, this whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – the strong cross-shore wind and choppy conditions are a kite’s dream, but for a surfer, it’s a dead loss. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but this one’s a blank run.
