The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at North Jetty at Eureka over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a mixed bag, and we’ve got a bit of a slow start.

The overall picture for North Jetty is pretty quiet for the first few days. The water’s sitting at 54°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.

We’re looking at a stretch of poor surf from Tuesday 14 July right through until the end of Thursday 16 July. The swell is tiny, around 2 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is a persistent cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.

Things start to get a little more interesting from Friday 17 July. The swell picks up, and the wave energy climbs. Friday morning sees waist-high swell around 3 ft from the WNW with a long period of 17 seconds, bringing in some proper groundswell energy (1100 combined energy). The wind is straight onshore though, which isn’t ideal, but it’s not strong. The morning is the best shot that day, but it’s still marginal.

Saturday 18 July is the first real standout. We’ve got a solid 7 ft swell from the NW rolling in. Now, that’s a bit of size – pushing into expert territory. The period is a short 8 seconds, which means it’ll be a bit crumbly and less powerful, more of a windswell feel. The morning has a light offshore wind (NW at 10 km/h, or 6 mph), which is a major positive. It’ll be clean, but with that short period and size, it’s going to be a handful and a half. The crowds are a possibility here, so keep your eyes open. The water temp anomaly is a bit colder than normal, remember.

Sunday 19 July drops back a bit, with 5 ft swell from the NW, but the wind swings around to a light cross-onshore. It’s marginal at best. The rest of that week into the next is a bit of a letdown. From Monday 20 July through to Thursday 24 July, we’re back to small, weak, and mostly poor conditions. There are a few marginal moments, but nothing to get excited about. The combined energy is low, mostly under 200, and the wind is cross-onshore.

Now, looking further out, we have a promising but less certain option on Saturday 25 July. The morning shows a 3 ft swell from the SW with a very long period of 21 seconds (837 combined energy). That’s a proper groundswell, and the long period will make for some nice, lined-up waves, especially at a jetty like this. The only catch is the wind is a cross-onshore at 15 km/h (9 mph), which will mess up the face a bit. It’s a marginal call.

The very end of the outlook, Monday 27 July, has another shot of 3 ft swell from the SW with a long 18-second period. The morning has an onshore wind, which is a bummer, but the energy is there (674 combined energy). It’s a “maybe” for the patient ones.

Best Bet: Honestly, the standout moment is Saturday 18 July early morning. That 7 ft NW swell with light offshore wind is the cleanest, most powerful window we’ve got, even if the period is short. It’s a big day for experienced surfers only. If you’re not up for that, the long-period groundswell on Saturday 25 July is worth a look, but the wind is a problem.

Rusty.
