The Lowdown
Alright mates, let’s talk about New Jetty over the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest – the start of the run is pretty blah. We’ve got tiny waves and onshores making a mess of things for the first week. Not much to get stoked about. The good stuff doesn’t really show up until the start of September.
Water’s sitting at 71°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year – over 5°F above the average. That’s pretty wild.
From Monday the 24th of August through the end of the month, you’re looking at ankle to knee-high dribble with periods mostly short to moderate and winds blowing onshore or cross-onshore. Wave energy is moderate (between 178 and 357 for the first few days), but it’s all bumpy and blown out.
Saturday the 29th has a 3ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period, energy up to 461 – moderate push – and a very light onshore breeze. Still just marginal though.
The first real bright spot lands on Tuesday, 1st of September. We’ve got a 2ft S swell, 12-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the east at just 3 mph. That’s clean. Energy is a moderate 200, but the conditions are described as clean. Small, but clean.
Then Wednesday morning, 2nd of September is the absolute pick. 3ft SW groundswell, 12 seconds, and glassy. Zero wind, just 3 mph from the west. Energy is 294. That morning is going to be smooth as silk.
After that, the wind flips back onshore. Thursday the 3rd afternoon sees 3ft SW swell with energy up to 499, but a moderate onshore kills it. Through the weekend and into the next week it’s the same story – building swell, but messy onshores.
By Monday the 7th of September, a 21-second SW groundswell rolls in at only 2ft, but it’s cross-on wind. Those long-period swells at a beach break often close out or break too straight. Not ideal.
So here’s the plan: circle Tuesday 1st and Wednesday 2nd of September. Tuesday is clean with light cross-offshore wind, and Wednesday morning is dead glassy. Those are your two best windows in this whole 16-day stretch. Everything else is a washout.

Information about the New Jetty Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for New Jetty provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at New Jetty can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our New Jetty surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (New Jetty) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for New Jetty may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
