Table - best surf conditions forecast for North Jetty at Eureka over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. We're looking at a stretch of pretty ordinary conditions from now through to around the 15th of July. The wind is mostly a cross-onshore breeze, which is keeping things choppy and messy. The swell is inconsistent, and the energy is just not there. It's a bit of a grim start. We'll be waiting about a week before anything starts to look interesting.
The first real standout, and the only one that's worth circling on the calendar, comes on the morning of Thursday, the 16th of July. North Jetty at Eureka is looking at a solid 8ft NW swell, with a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is pumping, with a combined swell energy of 1316, so there's plenty of push. The wind is a light cross-onshore breeze, which is a huge improvement. It'll be a bit lumpy but very far from the chop we've been dealing with. The morning of the 17th of July is also worth a mention, with a 8ft NNW swell and a light onshore wind, energy sitting at 1448. This is an intermediate zone, though. Over 8ft, this gets into expert-only territory, and the afternoon of the 16th pushes 10ft, which is serious. Keep an eye on the tide, as the forecast flags it as questionable.
After that, the 18th and 19th of July see a shift to a long-period groundswell from the WNW, with a period of 16 seconds. The swell drops to 3ft, but the energy is still moderate. The wind is light and onshore, so it could be clean. Just remember, that long period will make the waves break straighter here at the beach and jetty, so it might not be as punchy as you'd hope.
The rest of the run into the 24th looks like a return to cross-onshore winds and smaller, choppier surf, with a final big spike of 13ft on the 24th of July, but that's still a long way off and the wind is questionable.
So, the clear winner is the 16th of July morning. Get in the water then. The rest of the fortnight is a waiting game.
Rusty.
