Table - best surf conditions forecast for New Jetty over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down.
First off, we’re looking at a dry spell for the first week and a half at New Jetty (beach/jetty setup). From now until the 18th of July, there’s nothing worth paddling out for – small waves, onshore or cross-onshore breezes, and weak energy. The water temp is about normal for the season.
The one real highlight comes on the morning of Saturday, 18 July. Swell is a little 2ft from the SW, but the period is a long 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (192). The wind is glassy, dead calm out of the west at just 3 mph. That means the surface will be butter-smooth. For a beach/jetty spot, that long period can make the waves a bit too straight, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be the best session of the forecast. It’s fine for intermediates, and beginners can handle it. Crowds are *sometimes* a thing here, so expect a few regulars.
Then on Sunday, 19 July morning, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the S, period 14 seconds, with strong energy (629). That’s a solid pulse. But the wind is light cross-onshore from the SSE, so it’s a bit choppy. Still, it’s the biggest wave of the outlook. The afternoon drops off, and the wind stays light but cross-onshore.
From the 20th to the 24th, it’s back to small and poor. The last day, 24 July Friday morning, shows a 2ft S swell at 17 seconds with moderate energy (481), but light onshore wind. Another marginal call.
Bottom line: the 18th morning is your best shot. Glassy, clean, long-period groundswell. That’s the one.
Rusty out.

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.
