The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what we've got for Wooden Jetties.
To be straight with you, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty flat. There’s nothing really on offer to get excited about. The first worthwhile surf doesn’t show its face until Saturday the 25th of July, but it’s a poor offering. We’re looking at weak, short-period swell around 2ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of just 97. The wind is a moderate cross-shore breeze, making for a messy, choppy surface. Honestly, it’s barely worth paddling out for.
The whole of the first week is a write-off. Tiny waves, poor winds, and a combined energy that rarely cracks 100. The water temperature is 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the conditions are pleasant for a float, but there’s no surfable waves.
That quiet spell stretches right through until the start of August. There’s a brief flicker on Monday the 3rd of August, with a pocket of total glass in the afternoon and a tiny 2ft swell, but the combined energy is a measly 40. It’s clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. On Tuesday the 4th of August, we get a small lift. The afternoon sees a cross-offshore breeze, cleaning up a 3ft SSE swell with a combined energy of 96. It’s not big, but it’s our best chance for a clean little session.
The tail end of the outlook, around the 6th and 7th of August, shows a few afternoons with clean, cross-offshore winds, but again, the swell is tiny, barely 2ft to 2ft and weak. You might get a fun little knee-high wave if you’re desperate and on a longboard, but there are no standouts here. The whole 16-day window is a bust for any proper surfing.
Stay patient, the swell will return. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
