The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is lookin’ pretty grim for Wells Jetties. We’re staring down a long stretch of real small, weak, and messy conditions. The whole 16-day window is basically a bust for any decent paddle surfing. There’s nothing on the cards that’s even worth getting excited about.

The first few days from Tuesday the 28th of July right through the weekend are a write-off. We’ve got onshore wind from the SSE and SE, blowing right into the beach, with swell heights barely getting above 3 ft. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy readings mostly in the double digits (80 to 200), and the periods are short and weak – mostly 6 to 8 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not surf.

There’s a little bump mid-week on Thursday the 30th, with the swell height reaching 6 ft to 6 ft. The combined energy peaks at 515 (moderate wave energy), but it’s coming from the ENE with a short 7-second period. The wind is a cross-shore from the NE, which is messy, and the forecast calls it “marginal” at best. It’s not going to be any good for a paddle – that setup, with a strong wind and a beach/jetty break, is more interesting for kite surfing than anything else.

After that, it just drops off a cliff. From Friday the 31st of July all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 12th of August, we’re stuck with tiny, knee-high slop. For days on end, the swell is under 2 ft, with combined energy below 50 – that’s weak wave energy. The wind does get cleaner for a few mornings, especially around the 8th and 9th of August when we get some glassy conditions and a light offshore flow from the NW or WNW. But with a swell of 1.0 ft to 2 ft, there’s just no power. Even a 9 to 11-second period on the 9th of August means long, weak lines that won’t stand up on a beach break like this.

There’s a brief moment on the 12th of August with a light offshore and a 2 ft swell, but the combined energy is still only 47. It’s clean, but it’s not surfable.

So, the honest truth? There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The consistency is poor, and it’s a real blank run. It’s a tough stretch for the area, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be looking for something else to do. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.

Information about the Wells Jetties Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Wells Jetties provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Wells Jetties can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Wells Jetties 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 (Wells Jetties) 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 Wells Jetties 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.
