The Lowdown
Hey, this is Rusty. Lookin' at the 16-day outlook for New Jetty/South Jetty, and I gotta be straight with you – there's nothin' worth paddlin' out for. The whole stretch from Monday 20 July right through to Tuesday 4 August is a total dud. Every single session shows "poor surf conditions" or flirts with "marginal" at best, but the scores are rock bottom. No standouts, no hidden gems. Just a long, flat, ugly run.
The water's sittin' at 69° – that's a full 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a weird bonus if you're just floatin' around, but it won't help the waves. The combined swell energy bounces around in the moderate range – between 213 and 551 (moderate to upper moderate) – but the direction is all wrong. This break loves a solid WSW swell, and we're gettin' mostly SSW and S pulses. The periods are long (11–21 seconds), which means groundswell energy, but with the wind blowin' onshore or cross-onshore almost every day, the surface is a mess. Light breezes sometimes, but still on the nose or cross.
There's a tiny flicker of hope on Sunday 26 July afternoon and a few mornings around 27–29 July where the call is "marginal" – but that's just a polite way of sayin' "maybe if you're desperate." The swell heights barely top 3 ft, and the wind never cleans up. For a beginner-friendly spot like this, it's a shame, but it's just not happenin'. The break is fairly consistent normally, so this kind of blank run is unusual – but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.
