The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you—looking at the next couple of weeks for New Jetty/South Jetty, it's a bit of a tough stretch. The water is sitting at 71°F right now, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a real anomaly, almost like swimming in a bath compared to what you'd expect.
The swell is coming in from the SSW, but the problem is it's just not happening. The combined wave energy is weak, barely cracking a hundred (268) on the Sunday, and it just doesn't build into anything rideable. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore from the WSW, keeping things choppy and messy. For the first several days, the data is all "poor surf conditions," so there's nothing to get excited about.
We're looking at a solid gap of about five days with no real surf to speak of. The first slim chance doesn't even appear until Friday the 31st of July, and even then it's just a "marginal" call. The swell height is a paltry 3ft from the S with a period of 13 seconds, and the energy is still low (337). The wind is light and on from the SW in the morning, which might clean it up a bit, but it's going to be small and weak. After that, it just fades back into the abyss of poor conditions.
The rest of the run into the second week is a slow bleed. The swell drops to 1.0ft, with periods all over the place, but the energy is in the toilet (down to 55–77). The wind stays light and cross-on, but there's just no juice. This is a full-on quiet spell for the area. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, it's a total flat spell, and the setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle if you're desperate.
This is a classic case of "nothing doing." The forecasts can change, but right now, it's a dry spell. Hang tight.
Rusty.
