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 – it’s gonna be a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with nothing really worth paddling out for. The first solid bit of energy doesn’t show up until the morning of Tuesday, August 19th, and even that’s a bit of a mixed bag. So get ready for a solid two-week gap of flatness or tiny, gutless stuff.
The first chance you’ll get to wet a line is on Tuesday, August 19th at Wells Jetties. The swell is gonna bump up a bit, with a short-period 4ft coming from the south. The combined energy is moderate, reading 141. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 66°F. The wind is light from the south, which is a light cross-onshore, not ideal. It’ll be messy, but it’s the only pulse on the horizon. The swell direction is south, but the optimum for this spot is east, so it’s not gonna be super well-shaped. Still, it’s something to look at if you’re desperate.
Honestly, that’s the only real standout in the whole 16-day window. The rest of the time, the swell is tiny, weak, and the winds are often cross or onshore. It’s a proper blank run, and it’ll take a lot of patience.
Keep your eyes on the forecasts, because things can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
