The Lowdown
Right then, gather round. Rusty here.
It’s a grim outlook for New Jetty/South Jetty for the next two and a half weeks. To be straight with you, there’s no usable surf to speak of in the entire 16-day window. Every single session from Tuesday the 28th of July right through to Wednesday the 12th of August is rated as poor surf conditions.
You’ve got persistent, onshore and cross-onshore winds from the west-southwest and southwest, keeping things bumpy and choppy. The swell is feeble. Through the first week and into the second, the combined wave energy rarely rises above weak. It sits in the low hundreds for a while, then drops into double digits – a paltry 44 (combined energy) or 55 (combined energy) from the 5th of August onward. Sure, you get the odd long-period pulse, like a 19-second groundswell on the 7th of August, but it’s only pushing 1 ft. Waves that small with that much period will barely stand up.
Even the water temp has been weird. On Tuesday afternoon the 28th, it was 70°, which is a massive 7° warmer than average for this time of year. Unusual, but it’s not like you’d be getting wet for a wave.
The bottom line: if you’re looking for a paddle, you’re out of luck. This stretch is a blank run. For an exposed beach-and-jetty setup like this, with that much sideways wind and not enough swell, it’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer right now. Forecasts can change, but this one’s a long, quiet wait.
