Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what North Jetty at Eureka (beach/jetty) has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Overall, it’s a rough run. There’s wave energy out there, but the wind is almost never on our side. Most of the time we are dealing with cross-onshore breezes that chop things up, and a lot of the sessions are written off as poor. There are a few moments where things shift to onshore or even glass, but those are usually tied to marginal conditions. The water temp is sitting at 53°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll want a good wetsuit.

The first real standout doesn’t come until Tuesday morning, July 14, in the afternoon. The wind goes glassy, which is a massive positive. Swell is small at 4ft from the NW with a short 7-second period. Combined energy is moderate at 332. For a beach/jetty setup, that glassy wind will make it clean, but the short period means it’ll be a bit mushy. It’s the most surfable window in this stretch, but keep expectations low for power.

By Friday, July 17, things get interesting. Morning brings a very long-period groundswell – 17 seconds – from the WNW, with 3ft of swell and a combined energy that’s strong at 1206. That’s a lot of energy for such a small wave, meaning long, slow lines and big gaps between sets. The wind is onshore from the NW at 6 mph, so not ideal. This is a point-break-friendly swell, not a beach break, so the jetty might offer a bit of shape, but it’ll be tricky. A promising but less certain call this far out.

Then on Saturday, July 18, the swell picks up again – 7ft to 7ft from the NNW with an 8-second period. Combined energy jumps to 1108–1225, which is strong. But the wind is cross-onshore again, so it’s going to be a messy, choppy affair. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.

Sunday, July 19 afternoon, sees the biggest swell of the forecast – 8ft from the NNW, 8-second period, with very strong energy at 1262. That’s expert territory and the wind is cross-onshore. Not a day for the average surfer.

Beyond that, through Monday and Tuesday the 20th and 21st, we see solid 7ft NNW swell but with cross-onshore winds again – same story, poor quality.

Honestly, there’s no true standout here. The glassy window on July 14 afternoon is the best bet for some clean but small waves. The long-period groundswell on July 17 is worth a look for the patient surfer who can work the jetty, but don’t expect perfection.

Rusty.
