Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Jetty over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch where the surf just doesn’t want to cooperate. The Jetty is the only spot in the game, and it’s a sandbar setup that’s fairly consistent, but the conditions are just not playing ball. The water is sitting at 77°F right now, which is a whopping 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like bathwater.
The only real chance of anything even slightly rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 16th of July. The morning there is a tiny 3ft swell from the south, period a short 6 seconds, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. It’s the only time in the whole run where the conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a 3ft south swell, so it’s small, but with the glassy surface, it’ll be clean. For a beginner-friendly sandbar, that’s your one and only window. The rest of the 16 days are a write-off.
After that Thursday the 16th morning window, it’s back to nothing. There are a few glassy mornings on the 18th and 19th of July, but the swell is so small – 1ft to 2ft – that it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy drops as low as 13 on the 18th morning. That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
So, the only true standout, and I mean the *only* one, is Thursday morning the 16th of July at The Jetty. It’s a 3ft south swell, and with the glassy wind, it’ll be clean. Don’t expect much, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window.
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.
