Table - best surf conditions forecast for The Jetty over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here again. Let’s be real – this 16-day look at The Jetty is a tough one. We’re staring down a long stretch where the ocean is basically flat and uncooperative. There’s a big gap of nothing to start.
The whole pattern is small, weak, and messy. The combined energy of all swells mostly stays in the 20s and 30s, barely ever hitting three digits, which is weak. From Friday the 10th all the way through Friday the 17th, it’s a full week of poor surf with a zero score. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is working against us.
The first real sign of life, and it’s a faint one, is on Saturday the 18th. The Jetty is a sandbar, and it’s picking up a small south swell at about 3 ft. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west-southwest, which is a major positive for clean little waves. The energy is moderate (72), but it’s a short, 6-second period. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. It’s the best of a bad lot, but it’s still only a 1 out of 10 day.
After that, it’s back to onshore winds and choppy, lumpy slop for the rest of the window. The swell tries to pick up a bit around the 21st and 22nd, with energy hitting 198 and 153, but it’s all wind-affected and messy. At a beginner-friendly spot like this, those days are just a washout.
The only real call is Saturday morning the 18th. It’s small, but if you’re keen, the light wind and clean conditions might give you a few knee-high rollers. Don’t get your hopes up.
Rusty, out.

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.
