Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight up – looking over the next couple of weeks around here, there's hardly anything to get excited about. We're sitting through a long, quiet stretch, so don't go hanging up the boards just yet, but you might want to keep the leg rope off for a while.
The only spot on the cards is New Jetty/South Jetty, and it's a beginner-friendly wave that's fairly consistent. For the first week or more, the story is the same: tiny swell. Through Thursday 2nd July, Friday 3rd, Saturday 4th, Sunday 5th, Monday 6th, Tuesday 7th, Wednesday 8th, Thursday 9th, and right into Friday 10th July – the surf is pretty much flat. Swell heights are just 1ft to 2ft, with a long period of 14 to 18 seconds, but it's all coming from the SSW or SW, and the combined wave energy is weak to moderate (between 120 and 374). The wind is mostly a gentle cross-onshore or onshore breeze from the WSW, so it's choppy and messy. The water temperature is about 63°, which is close to average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
There are a couple of days that might get a tiny bit more interesting, but I'm not going to call them standouts. On Wednesday 15th July, there's a brief moment in the afternoon when the wind goes glassy from the west, at just 3 mph. The swell is 2ft from the west with a short period of 9 seconds, and the energy is weak (100). It's surfable, but it's very ordinary – don't expect much. Then on Thursday 16th July morning, we get a little bump from a 1.0ft west swell with an 18-second period and energy at 138, but it's not enough to push through the poor conditions.
Honestly, for the entire 16-day outlook, there's no surf worth paddling out for. It's a blank run, and for an area like this, that's just the way it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the forecasts – it doesn't stay poor for long. For now, you're better off staying on dry land.
Rusty.
