Alright, crew, Rusty here with the straight dope.
The next couple of weeks at The Jetty are looking pretty grim. We've got a long, flat stretch with hardly a wave to speak of until about the middle of the month. The water's running a lot warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at a balmy 77°F, but that's the only exciting part of the forecast for a while. The total wave energy is scraping the bottom of the barrel for the first week, barely cracking triple digits.
Your best bet—and I say that loosely—rolls around on Friday the 17th of July. The afternoon looks clean with a 3ft swell from the SSE and a light offshore wind out of the NW. The energy picks up slightly to 83, which is the best we'll see all period. It's a short-period swell at 7 seconds, so don't expect any grunt, just a few fun, clean little waves on the sandbar.
Tuesday the 14th of July is another potential micro-session. The swell is tiny at 1ft, but the morning is flat glassy, with a period of 9 seconds from the SE. The water will be like a mirror. The energy reading is weak (25), but if you're on a longboard and just want to float around, it's not all bad.
There's no epic day in this window. It's mostly a waiting game that doesn't pay off big. The swell just doesn't have the size or the period to make the windier days worthwhile. Save your energy for that Friday the 17th, but don't expect a hero session.
Rusty.

Information about the The Jetty Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Jetty provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Jetty can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Jetty surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (The Jetty) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Jetty may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
