The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window for Wooden Jetties is a tough one. Every single session in the data is marked as “poor surf conditions,” and the scores back that up. There are no standout sessions, no days where the stars align for a proper paddle. It’s a flat, messy run with nothing to get excited about. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t appear until Monday the 10th of August afternoon, and even then, it’s barely worth mentioning. Before that, from Tuesday the 4th right through to Sunday the 9th, the swell is tiny—mostly 1ft to 4ft—with cross-onshore or cross winds and weak combined energy (52 to 142). That 142 reading on Friday the 7th morning sounds like a pulse, but the wind’s cross-shore and the period’s a short 6 seconds, so it’s lumpy junk. Nothing to paddle for.

The water at Wooden Jetties is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—77°F with an anomaly of 3°F—so you won’t need a thick suit, but that’s about the only positive.

Let’s run through the days. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th: tiny 2ft to 3ft SE swell, cross-on winds, combined energy barely 21 to 75—weak and choppy. Thursday the 6th through Sunday the 9th: the swell stays small, 2ft to 4ft, with cross or cross-on breezes. A couple of afternoons (Saturday the 8th, Sunday the 9th) go clean with cross-off winds, but the swell’s still only 2ft to 3ft—barely a ripple. Monday the 10th of August afternoon is the only session that could make you look twice: 4ft SSW swell at 7 seconds, cross-off wind from the west, combined energy of 171. That’s moderate energy, clean conditions, but the period is short (7 seconds), so the waves will be weak and fat. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much.

From Tuesday the 11th through Wednesday the 19th, it’s more of the same. Swells shrink to 1ft to 3ft, periods stay short (5 to 9 seconds), and winds shift around—some clean glassy moments on Thursday the 13th afternoon (1ft, glassy) and Saturday the 15th morning (2ft, glassy), but the energy is pitiful (11 to 65). Friday the 14th has offshore winds and 2ft swell, but again, tiny. The last few days, Monday the 17th to Wednesday the 19th, offer a bit of period (9 seconds) but still only 1ft to 1ft and light energy.

Bottom line: no good surf options in this 16-day window. The combined energy never gets strong—mostly two-digit numbers, with only a couple of three-digit readings (142, 134, 171) that still come with poor conditions. For an area where Wooden Jetties is fairly consistent, this blank run is a bit of a surprise, but forecasts can change. As it stands, leave the board at home.

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.
