The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for New Jetty/South Jetty. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a flat spell, with only tiny, weak pulses of swell rolling in. The water is a warm 70°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, and it’s the only thing that’s out of the ordinary around here.
The first few days, from Friday the 7th through to Monday the 10th, we’re looking at knee-high dribble at best. Swell is coming from the SSW, but it’s a long-period groundswell (18-19 seconds) which would normally be something, but the size is just too small – 1.0ft to 1ft – to do anything with. The combined energy is weak, reading between 94 and 145, so there’s just no power behind it. It’s a classic case of "poor surf conditions" right across the board.
The pattern doesn’t really change for the whole middle of the week. Tuesday the 11th through Thursday the 13th stays the same story: small, weak SSW to SW swells. Periods are still long (16-19 seconds), but the height barely nudges 1ft. The wind is mostly light and onshore, so it’s not even clean. The combined energy drops as low as 73 on Tuesday morning, which is basically nothing.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th sees a tiny bump – the swell height creeps up to 2ft to 2ft, and the combined energy finally gets into the 200s (227-248), which is moderate. But the wind turns cross-onshore, with a moderate breeze at 12 mph on Saturday afternoon, making it choppy. It’s still not worth paddling out for.
The second week, from the 17th through to the 22nd, is more of the same. We’re stuck in a rut of 1ft to 2ft SSW swell, with periods dropping to 14-16 seconds. The energy is moderate at best (115-174), but it’s all blown out by cross-onshore winds, especially in the afternoons. The mornings are often glassy with light offshore winds, but the swell is just too small to make any wave.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout day in this whole 16-day forecast. The combination of tiny swell, persistent onshore wind, and the long period making it even weaker at a beach break like this means there’s no surf to recommend. It’s one of those blank runs that happens here. Keep your eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty, signing off.
