The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a honest look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a grim stretch for a paddle. The first real glimmer of surfable waves doesn’t show up until Saturday, 20th August, and even that's nothing to write home about. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of tiny, messy, or blown-out conditions before anything remotely rideable appears. Don’t get your hopes up early.
The only spot on the radar is Wooden Jetties. For the first week and a half, it’s a sad story. From Monday, 10th August right through to the morning of Thursday, 20th August, every session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny—often 1.0 ft to 2.0 ft—and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore. A couple of mornings, like Tuesday 11th and Thursday 13th, do see some clean, offshore wind, but the wave energy is just not there. The combined swell energy sits in the weak range (between 6 and 35) for most of that time. There’s a brief spike on Sunday afternoon, 16th August, where the swell bumps up to 4.6 ft from the S with moderate energy (142), but it’s accompanied by a strong cross-onshore breeze of 25 mph, making it a mess. That one’s more of a kite session than a surf.
The only day worth mentioning—and I use that term loosely—is Thursday, 20th August. The morning shows a 1.6 ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period, clean conditions thanks to a light WNW cross-offshore breeze, and the combined energy hits a modest 81. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as positive as this forecast gets. For a really desperate soul, you might catch a few little runners on a longboard, but it’s not going to get the heart racing. After that, it’s back into poor, choppy, or onshore junk through to the end of the period on 25th August.
The water temp is sitting around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Look, sometimes the ocean just shuts down, and this is one of those spells. The breaks are fairly consistent here, so it won’t stay this flat forever—forecasts can change. But for this 16-day window? Leave the board in the car.

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.
