The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s comin’ up for New Jetty/South Jetty.
To put it plainly, it’s a quiet stretch. There aren’t any real highlights in this 16-day outlook. The first bit of surf worth mentionin’ is still poor, and then it just fades out. From Friday the 24th of July all the way through the end of the month, the waves are flat and weak. The wind’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, messin’ up what little bump there is. That’s a gap of over a week with nothin’ to ride. The water temp on that Friday is 71°F, which is much warmer than normal for July—about 8°F above the average. That’s really unusual.
The only time that’s even close to a maybe is Wednesday the 29th of July, afternoon. We’ve got a 0.8ft swell from the SSW, with a 16-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it carries some punch (391 combined energy), but it’s still tiny and the forecast calls it marginal—questionable tide and small. Wind is light and offshore from the SW, so it could look glassy, but it’s inconsistent.
After that, the swell just dies. By the 3rd of August, we’re down to 0.3ft waves with weak energy, and it drops even lower to 0.2ft by the 8th. The wind stays light or cross-on, so it’s not even a good day for a kite. For a surfer with a paddle, this is a long blank stretch.
This area does go through these runs—it’s not unusual to see a quiet spell. Forecasts can turn, but for now, there’s nothin’ to get out of bed for.
Rusty.
