Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at what’s on offer for North Jetty at Eureka. I gotta be honest – it’s a lean run. This jetty setup is exposed to the NW, but the wind just won’t play ball for most of it. The water’s runnin’ about 53°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want the thick rubber.
Right out the gate through the first week, it’s pretty grim. From Sunday the 5th right through to the morning of the 12th, the wind is mostly cross-on from the NW or N, and the surf quality is shot. We see a 7ft NNW swell on Sunday the 5th with a 10 km/h cross-on breeze – it’s just choppy and messy. The combined energy is low to moderate (678). A few mornings like Wednesday the 8th look a bit cleaner with light wind and a 4ft NW swell (468 energy), but it’s still not good enough to call it a session. It’s a long stretch of frustration.
Then the second week gets heavy, but the wind stays a problem. Tuesday the 14th morning brings a 6ft NW swell (469 energy) with an offshore wind – that’s the first real spark. The morning of Wednesday the 15th is the standout, but only for the brave. We’re looking at a solid 8ft NNW swell with a 8-second period, and the combined energy hits a strong 1517. The wind is offshore at 15 km/h, so the jetty could shape up into some thick, powerful waves. That’s over 8ft – expert territory only. The afternoon holds a 10ft swell (1832 energy), but the wind shifts cross-on, making it a beast to paddle.
After that, the swell drops fast but the period gets interesting. Thursday the 16th afternoon brings a 3ft WNW groundswell with a very long 18-second period (1147 energy) – a lot of push for the size, but at a beach/jetty, those long-period waves can be difficult to read. With a 15 km/h onshore wind, it’s more of a drift than a proper session. The rest of the week into the 19th stays small with long-period swell and light cross-on winds. Nothing worth writing home about.
If you’re after one window, it’s the morning of Wednesday, July 15th. That’s the only time the size, energy, and offshore wind all come together. It’s a heavy wave for the experts.
Keep your eyes on that date.
