Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wooden Jetties over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Wooden Jetties over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead, with a long, blank run of nothing worth paddling out for. The first real sniff of anything happens waaaay down the line.
Right now through to the end of July, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, with short, weak periods. The wind is a mess – cross, cross-on, onshore... it’s just choppy, messy, and the combined energy is pathetic (mostly two-digit numbers like 16, 47, 36). The water temp is a very unusual 77°, which is a solid 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a bit weird, but that doesn’t help the waves. There’s a good 10 days of pretty much zero surf here.
The only window that even looks like it might offer something is on Monday, July 20th. The morning shows a bump in swell to 3ft from the S, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy finally cracks three digits at 121 (moderate energy). The wind is a light breeze from the north, giving us a clean, cross-off look. It’s surfable, but the conditions are described as “very ordinary.” It’s not a standout, it’s just the only game in town.
Then, on Friday, July 24th, the afternoon sees a similar pulse: 4ft from the SSE, period of 7 seconds, and a combined energy of 225 (moderate). The wind is light offshore from the WNW, so it’ll be clean. Again, it’s surfable but nothing special.
Saturday, July 25th morning is also a maybe, with 4ft from the SSE, 7 seconds, combined energy 114 (moderate), and a clean cross-off breeze from the WSW.
The best bet, if you’re desperate, is probably the Friday, July 24th afternoon session. The swell is the biggest of the whole period at 4ft, the wind is offshore, and it’ll be clean. But it’s still a short-period, unremarkable swell at a fairly exposed beach/jetty setup. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so it might be worth a look if you’re local, but don’t expect much.
Forget the rest of the window. It’s a long, flat, windy wait. On the bright side, this spot is fairly consistent, so it won’t stay this poor forever – forecasts can change.
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.
