The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands for anything worth paddling out for at New Jetty (Australia). The forecast for the next 16 days is largely a story of persistence over quality, with a whole lot of "meh" to sift through. The water is sitting at a very unusual 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're scratching your head.
The first week is a write-off. From Saturday, the 29th of August, through to the end of the first week of September, the surf is tiny and the wind is a constant problem. Saturday morning starts with a 3 ft SSW swell, but it’s crossed up by a SSW wind. The combined energy is weak (403). Saturday afternoon goes from bad to worse with onshore winds making a mess of things. This pattern of messy, onshore wind and small, inconsistent swell just repeats day after day. The energy levels drop right off, hitting a low of just 75 on Tuesday, the 1st of September. There’s a solid 8-day stretch where the conditions are just too poor to recommend.
The only real glimmer of hope in this whole outlook comes on Saturday, the 5th of September. The morning session is the standout. We’ll see a 3 ft SSW swell, with a long period of 16 seconds, delivering a moderate energy of 363. The wind is forecast to be glassy. That’s the key. For a beach/jetty setup like New Jetty, glassy conditions are golden. It’s the only time in the entire 16 days where the stars align for clean, rideable waves. The swell is small, but it’ll be the most fun you’ll have. The spot is fairly consistent, but crowds are sometimes a factor, so get down early.
After that one bright moment, it’s back to the grind. The second week of September sees the swell staying small, maxing out around 3 ft, but the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, turning the surface into a chop fest. The energy picks up a bit on the 8th and 9th, hitting 388 and 406, but it’s sloppy, blown-out surf. There’s a couple of mornings with a cross-shore wind (like the 7th and 11th), but the swell is too small and weak to get excited about. The final day, the 13th of September, is a nothing burger, with a 1.0 ft swell and onshore winds.
So, the honest truth is: if you can wait, the Saturday morning of the 5th of September is your only real shot. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat, and windy stretch.
Rusty.

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.
