The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at you from the beach. Let's take a good, hard look at what's cookin' for New Jetty over the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be honest with you, right off the bat: the pickin's are lean for the next week and a half. The first solid, rideable day we see doesn't roll in until Sunday the 6th. Before that, Friday and Saturday are pretty much write-offs—onshore wind and just poor conditions. We're lookin' at a gap of a couple of days with nothing to recommend.
The real standout, the best bit of the whole forecast, is Sunday the 6th. That morning and afternoon are where it's at. We’ve got a clean, long-period swell, around 3ft to 4ft from the S-SSW with a nice 14-15 second period (good energy in the water, with the combined energy reading around 524-546). What makes it special is the wind: light, cross-offshore breezes from the east. That’s gonna make for some clean, lined-up surf at the jetty. Expect some longer waits between sets, but the waves that come through should have some proper shape. Be mindful though, it's a beach/jetty setup, and an exposed one at that, so it can get a little straighter with that long period. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, and on a day like Sunday when it's the only game in town, you can bet a few other locals will have the same idea.
After Sunday, things get messy again. Monday the 7th through to the middle of the second week is mostly onshore wind and choppy conditions. The swell hangs around, but the wind just ruins it. A lot of poor surf conditions and marginal forecasts in there. For the really later stuff, like around the 17th to the 19th, we see a brief pulse of short-period windswell from the west on the 17th—only 6 seconds period, so that's sloppy, wonky surf. Then a very long-period groundswell pops up around the 18th and 19th from the southwest, with periods hitting 18-20 seconds. That's a huge period, but the swell height is tiny (2ft to 2ft) and the wind turns cross-onshore, so it'll be a long wait for a weak, choppy wave. Not worth paddlin' out for.
Overall, save your energy for Sunday the 6th. That's your window. The rest of the run... well, let's hope the forecasts change. It tends not to stay this poor for long around here.
Rusty.

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.
