Table - best surf conditions forecast for New Jetty/South Jetty over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a pretty flat run. The entire 16-day window is one long quiet stretch with no real surf to speak of, so if you’re itching for a paddle, you’re going to be staring at a lot of lake-like conditions.
The only spot in the mix is New Jetty/South Jetty. It’s a beginner-friendly break, fairly consistent, and exposed to the WSW swell direction. The wind’s mostly coming from the southwest to west, which is the onshore or cross-onshore direction here, so it’s not doing us any favours. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on.
Starting Monday 3rd August, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the west with a short period of 6 seconds and weak combined energy of just 51. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, making it fairly choppy. It’s poor. Tuesday 4th through to Sunday 9th stays similar – swell heights hovering around 0.7ft to 1ft, periods all over the shop from 13 to 19 seconds, but the energy is weak (in the 40s to 140s). The wind is mostly light and onshore or cross-onshore, so the surface is either unknown or choppy. Nothing to get excited about.
The second week, from 10th August onward, is more of the same. Swell bumps up to 2ft on Saturday 15th August afternoon with a 16-second period and combined energy hitting 205, which is moderate, but the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’s still fairly choppy and poor. The rest of the days are smaller, with weak energy and onshore winds. The whole 16-day stretch is a write-off for decent surf.
There’s no standout here. Honestly, not a single session worth chasing. A blank run like this is pretty normal for the area, so don’t lose hope – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
