The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here. It’s been a flat spell for New Jetty, and looking at this 16-day window, it’s mostly a waiting game.
The first few days are a write-off. You’ve got small swell, onshore winds, and a lot of “poor surf conditions” flags. Nothing worth wetting a wetsuit for. It stays like that through the weekend and into the following week, with a string of days where the surf just isn't happening. We’re looking at a big gap with nothing to recommend until we get further out.
The one window that stands out, and it's a long-range promise, is Monday the 17th of August morning. We finally get a bit of a pulse. The swell is small, only about 2ft from the SSW, but what makes this special is the wind. It’s glassy. I'm talking no wind, mirror-flat conditions. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions,” and I believe it. For a morning session on glassy, waist-high waves, you'll get the best of what’s on offer here. Groundswell period of 14 seconds gives the waves a bit of shape, even if it's small.
Other than that, the second week shows a slow build of energy, but it’s always accompanied by onshore or cross-onshore breezes. By Wednesday the 26th of August the swell picks up to near 3ft from the South and energy is jumping up (505), but the wind is junk. On the Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th, the swell energy gets into a moderate-to-strong range (545 and 638), with the swell coming from the SSW, which matches the optimum direction. The heights are around 3ft to 3ft. But again, the wind – cross-onshore – will chop it up. It’s a promising long-range signal, but it’s not a lock for clean conditions. The water is much warmer than normal, which is a bit of a trip.
So, the bottom line: Don't expect much for over a week. The only real standout is that glassy Monday morning. That’s your call.
Rusty.
