The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for your local stretch.
Honestly, we’re looking at a pretty grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn’t arrive until the 25th of July, so we’ve got a dry spell of about 12 days to get through. The water temp is sitting at 77°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual anomaly, so the water is bath-like.
For the best of a bad bunch, you’ll have to wait for the morning of Saturday the 25th at Wooden Jetties. Conditions are “surfable waves but very ordinary.” The swell will be a measly 4ft coming from the S, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak (145). The real plus here is the wind: a light NNE breeze coming cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean. It’s not going to be cracking, but it’s the only half-decent window we’ve got.
Prior to that, from the 13th all the way through the 24th, it’s a total write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is onshore or cross-shore, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions” with scores of zero. Nothing is worth paddling out for.
After the 25th, the morning of Sunday the 26th also shows “surfable waves” with a 3ft S swell and a light cross-offshore NNE breeze, but the energy is still weak (97). It’s just barely enough to get wet.
In summary, there’s one morning that might be worth a look, but don’t get your hopes up. The rest of the 16 days is a flat, windy mess.
Rusty.

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