Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wooden Jetties over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Bit of a tough stretch ahead for Wooden Jetties. Over the next couple weeks, there’s really only a couple fleeting windows where you might get a wave worth paddling for, and even then, conditions are pretty ordinary. Right now there’s nothing rideable, and you’re looking at a long gap of close to two weeks before anything remotely surfable shows up.
From Saturday July 11th through to Wednesday July 23rd, it’s a write-off. Swell is tiny, wind is messy, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild happening there. You’ll see a bit of energy pick up around Monday July 20th, with a combined energy reading of 106, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy – that’s more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.
The first real chance comes on Thursday July 23rd in the morning. Wooden Jetties (beach/jetty) sees a small S/SSE swell around 3ft, period a short 6 seconds, and combined energy of 67. But the wind swings to a light N breeze, giving you clean conditions and cross-offshore wind. That’s a standout for the whole outlook. It’s still small and weak, but if you’re keen, that’s the cleanest it’s going to get. Expect some company – crowds are possible here.
Friday July 24th morning builds on that. Swell from the south pushes up to 4ft, period 8 seconds, combined energy hitting 204 – moderate wave energy. Wind stays light and offshore from the north. The wave comment says “surfable” but ordinary. Another morning worth a look. By afternoon the wind turns cross-on, so the clean window is short.
After that, things get lumpy again and the swell stays small through to the end of the period. The Sunday morning on July 26th shows 5ft from the south, but with cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions, and a score of 0. Not worth it.
So in short: it’s a long wait, but the mornings of July 23rd and 24th offer the best – and only – real chances at Wooden Jetties. Clean, light offshore wind, but don’t expect any kind of pumping swell. Keep an eye on the forecasts; this dry spell won’t last forever.
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.
