The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at North Jetty at Eureka.

Straight up, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. The wind is stuck out of the NNW or N at 9 to 12 mph, and it’s blowing cross-onshore nearly every day, which means the waves are gonna be choppy and messy. The swell is mostly from the SW with a long period, which would be great for shape, but the wind is just ruining it. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.

From Monday 27th July through the end of the month, there’s a little bit of energy in the water – combined swell energy around 937 to 1110 (moderate), with waist-high waves around 4ft to 4ft – but it’s all cross-on and choppy. Not worth paddling out unless you want a rough, bumpy ride. Tuesday 28th drops to 3ft, and the wind hasn’t let up.

Then from Wednesday 29th July all the way through the first week of August, the swell gets bigger, but the quality stays poor. The wind stays cross-onshore, and the wave reports keep saying “poor surf conditions.” By Sunday 2nd August, we’re looking at 8ft to 10ft from the NNW, with a short period of 8 seconds – that’s wind-driven junk, and with the cross-wind, it’s a mess. The combined energy is up to 1367 (strong), but it’s just a lot of bumpy, blown-out water. This is a beach/jetty break, so on days like this, it’s honestly looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The best of a bad bunch might be Tuesday 4th August. The morning shows 8ft from the NNW, and the wind is still cross-onshore, but the breeze is light (gentle), and the combined energy is 1080 (moderate). It’s still not clean, but it’s the least messy of the week. The swell is too big for beginners, and even for intermediates, it’s gonna be a battle.

Into the second week, the size keeps climbing. By Thursday 6th August, we’ve got 13ft from the NNW, with a period of 9 to 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 2674 to 3239 (very strong). That’s expert-only territory, and with the wind still cross-onshore, it’s a dangerous, blown-out beast. The jetty might offer some shelter, but the quality is still poor.

The swell slowly drops off from Saturday 8th August onward, with 8ft down to 2ft, and the wind might finally ease up a bit. Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th August show some lighter NW winds (6 mph, onshore), but the swell is tiny (2ft) and the period is long (15-16 seconds), which means weak, straight lines at a beach/jetty – not much to get excited about.

So, if you’re really keen to get wet, I’d maybe look at Tuesday 4th August morning, but don’t expect much. This is a long stretch where the wind just won’t give us a break. It’s a bummer, but forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
