The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty checking in on New Jetty for the next 16 days. We’re looking at a real dry spell, and I mean bone dry. The first week is mostly small, weak, and blown out, with only a tiny tease right at the end of the run.
Kicking off Monday, July 27th, we’ve got a 3ft SSW groundswell but it’s hitting with a cross-onshore wind. The water’s running unusually warm at 72° — that’s a big anomaly, way warmer than normal for July. Combined energy is moderate at 589, but the wind is making a mess of it. Marginal at best.
The rest of the week into early August is a slog. Swell drops to 1ft by Sunday, August 2nd, with a period of 10 seconds and energy falling to 144. Wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and every session is marked as poor. It stays like that through Wednesday, August 5th, with swells barely a foot and energy sinking to 76. Honestly, this is better for the kite crew.
Thursday, August 6th, we hit the bottom with a 1ft swell, but the period jumps to a very long 21 seconds. Energy is still weak at 137. That’s a ghost swell — a beach break like this will turn it into a straight closeout. Not worth it.
The only pulse shows up on Friday, August 7th. Swell climbs to 2ft from the SSW, period of 19 seconds, and energy hits 283. Wind is still onshore, so you’re dealing with chop, but it’s the most energy we’ve seen. Saturday the 8th keeps a 2ft SSW swell with 18-second period and energy of 266. Light onshore wind keeps it from being totally clean, but if you’re paddling out, this is the best you’re going to get. It’s marginal at best.
Then it fades again. Monday, August 10th, we’re back to 2ft, and by Tuesday the 11th, it’s 1ft SSW with energy down to 72. The onshore wind just won’t let up. Nothing in this 16-day window is going to get the stoke high. The 7th to 9th of August might offer a few grovelly waves, but with crowds possible at this spot, I’d leave the board on the car.

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.
