The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for New Jetty/South Jetty over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, folks, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it: this is a bleak run. The swell is tiny, the wind is pretty much always cross-onshore or onshore, and the surf quality is just plain poor. You're looking at a long, long gap of nothing doing. The water is a wild 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is super unusual, but you'll be floating in it more than you'll be surfing.
From the start of the period on Monday the 27th of July, right through to at least the 11th of August, every single entry is a "poor surf conditions" call. The swell is tiny, never getting above 3 ft, and the period is all over the place, from a short 7 seconds up to a very long 21 seconds, but the energy is just weak. The combined energy of the swells is mostly in the low-to-mid hundreds (366) down to the tens (41), so there's just no power in the water. The wind is mostly a cross-on from the WSW, chopping everything up. The only small window of a clean-ish morning is on the 29th of July, 31st of July, and 3rd of August, with a light onshore breeze, but the swell is still non-existent.
There is no standout session here. Even the longer period swells (15-21 seconds) that pop up are pointing to such a small height (0.6 ft to 1 ft) that they won't break properly. For a beginner break, the swell is too small and weak to even practice on. This is a genuine blank run. For this area, this kind of extended flat spell is a bit more normal. It’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
