The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – there’s no surf to get fired up about. New Jetty is flat or junk the whole 16 days. Not one session worth waking up early for. This kind of dead spell is pretty normal here when the swell doesn’t show, so don’t stress. The water is sitting at a very unusual 74° – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least it’s comfortable for a swim.
From Monday 14 September, it’s tiny. Monday morning shows a 1.0ft SW swell with an 18-second period – that’s very long groundswell, but the combined energy is only 96 (weak), and with a cross-shore wind it’s poor. Monday afternoon is cross-on 1ft with 159 energy (moderate) – still poor. Tuesday the 15th is the same: 1ft SW, cross-shore, 122 energy (moderate) – no good. The whole first week is just 1.0ft to 2ft SW and SSW swells, onshore or cross-on winds, energy between 102 and 398 (weak to moderate).
There is no true standout here. The best you could call it is “marginal” on a few mornings – Thursday 17 September morning, Friday 18 September morning, Saturday 19 September morning, Sunday 20 September morning, Monday 21 September, Tuesday 22 September morning, Wednesday 23 September morning, and Tuesday 29 September morning. But the swell is only 2ft to 3ft, combined energy barely hits three digits, and the wind is cross-on or onshore. No offshore wind. No glassy conditions.
Because it’s a beach/jetty setup with poor surf and onshore wind most afternoons, honestly, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week (from 22 September onward) is more of the same: tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, period dropping to 13–16 seconds, energy between 151 and 281 (weak to moderate). Wind stays onshore or cross-on.
That’s it – 16 days of nothing. Sometimes it stays flat and the forecasts might change, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
