The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got lined up for the New Jetty/South Jetty area.
Honestly, mate, it's a pretty bleak stretch. We've got a 16-day window, but almost every single session is coming up as poor. The water though, it’s a story in itself. The first recommendation for *New Jetty/South Jetty* shows the water temp at a staggering 71°F. That’s 8°F above what you’d normally expect for this time of year – seriously, that's incredibly unusual and something you'd feel the moment you paddle out.
Right from Saturday the 25th of July, it's a struggle. We start with a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW at a long, drawn-out 21 seconds, but with a cross-onshore WSW breeze at 9 mph it's just a messy, choppy affair. The combined wave energy is weak. The swell direction is also way off what this spot wants; it needs a WSW to line up properly.
The pattern just doesn't improve. Through the end of July and into the first week of August, the swell bumps up a little – hitting 3ft on Tuesday the 28th and even 3ft on Friday the 31st, with period dropping to 14 seconds. But that onshore or cross-onshore wind just won't quit. It’s always there, ruining any potential shape. That 3ft on the 31st morning is the only time we even come close to “marginal”, but with a consistent 9 mph cross-onshore, forget about getting a clean wave.
By the 2nd of August, the swell completely flattens out to a pathetic 2ft with a short period. From the 3rd of August onward, the energy gauge drops and the swell height barely clears 1.0ft. The period does get long again, hitting 20 seconds on the 6th, but with almost no height and onshore wind, it’s just a flat, bumpy lake.
There are no standouts here. The entire 16-day run is a dud. For a spot that is *fairly consistent*, this is a rough stretch. You’re honestly better off saving your energy. The only thing going for you is the bizarrely warm water, so maybe just a swim.
Signing off, Rusty.
