Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wooden Jetties over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next sixteen days at Wooden Jetties are a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing that’s worth paddling out for. Don’t get your hopes up, because every single session across the whole forecast period is scoring a zero, and it’s all “poor surf conditions.” That’s a tough run.
The swell is tiny – pretty much nothing above 3ft, and most of the time it’s hanging around 1ft to 2ft, with short, weak periods that don’t have any grunt. The combined swell energy barely cracks three digits once, reaching 95 on Monday the 20th of July morning, but even that’s coming from a light SSE breeze blowing straight onshore, so it’s gonna be messy.
Starting Monday the 13th of July, you’ve got a 2ft ESE swell with a 6-second period and only 35 combined energy. That’s just poor. The wind is onshore or cross-shore nearly every day, with a few cleaner moments. Wednesday the 15th of July morning has a clean look with a gentle W breeze and a 3ft SSW swell, but the period is a weak 5 seconds, and it’s still rated poor. Wednesday the 22nd of July morning offers glassy conditions with zero wind and a 2ft SSE swell – but again, it’s tiny and poor quality.
There are no standouts here. Nothing is even close. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, but that’s cold comfort when there’s nothing to ride. Honestly, this setup would be more interesting for a kite surfer if the wind was cleaner and stronger, but for us paddle surfers, it’s a write-off.
Sometimes it goes like this. A blank run like this is normal for the area when there’s no proper swell. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d put the board away for a fortnight.
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.
