The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it for this area.
Well, I gotta be straight with you, it's looking a bit grim for the next couple of weeks. The whole 16-day window is just a long run of "poor surf conditions" at Little Joes/Between the Jetties. There's not a single standout day, not one moment where I'd be rushing to get my wetsuit on. It's a real bummer.
The whole stretch from the 30th of July right through to the 14th of August is one big gap. You're looking at over two weeks of nothing really worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 58.3°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's average. The wind is just a constant problem. It's mostly coming from the NNW, and it's either cross or cross-on, which is just chopping everything up. There's a bit of a longer period groundswell in the mix, like that 16-second SW swell showing up on the 30th, but the energy is all over the place (506) and the wind just kills it.
You get a little pulse of size around the 6th of August, with 6.9 ft from the NW and a combined energy of 1327, but it's still cross-onshore and lumpy. It's the sort of day that looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest. And that's pretty much the story right through. The wind just never lets up. There's a period of cross-shore winds with lumpy cross-chop, starting from the 2nd of August, which is the closest we get to a marginal window, but even then the swell direction is not ideal and the wind is too strong.
For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. But that's how it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, save your energy. There's nothing here to get excited about.
