Table - best surf conditions forecast for Little Joes/Between the Jetties over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook for Little Joes/Between the Jetties is a tough one. We’ve got a full 16-day window, and honestly, there’s no surf worth paddling out for. Every single session from Friday July 10th to Saturday July 25th is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid 16-day gap with no recommendations, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
The water’s running at 52°F and that’s 4°F colder than normal for this time of year – that’s a proper chill, a good four degrees colder than usual, so you’ll feel it if you’re silly enough to go in.
The swell’s all over the place, but the wind is the real killer here. It’s coming from NNW pretty much the whole time, blowing cross-on or cross, and it’s not light. Most days you’re looking at 12 to 25 mph, so it’s choppy, lumpy, and messy. Combined swell energy bounces around between 236 and 762 (moderate to moderate-strong), but with that wind, it’s just blown-out junk. Swell heights hit 5 ft at times, but with short periods around 7–8 seconds, it’s just wind-slop, not real groundswell. A few times we see longer period swells over 15 seconds – like 19 seconds on Tuesday the 14th and 18 seconds on Wednesday the 15th – but the wind ruins any chance of clean faces.
For the whole run, the best you’ll get is a cross-shore breeze on some mornings, but it’s still lumpy cross-chop. This setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially with that strong breeze on Wednesday the 15th and Saturday the 25th pushing 25 mph. Swell direction swings from SW to NW to WNW, but none of it lines up right for clean waves at this exposed beach/jetty spot.
Since a few of these slots are fairly consistent with swell, it’s not a total dead zone – forecasts can shift. But for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
