Wooden Jetties Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day window is a rough one for Wooden Jetties. The finder is showing zero days with decent surf, so we’re not looking at any real standouts. It’s a flat, choppy, and messy stretch ahead.

We start off with hardly a ripple. Monday the 10th has a weak 0.3m of ankle-biters from the SSE with a short 6-second period. The wind is cross-shore and bumpy, making it look pretty average. The water is sitting at 79°F, which is 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year—that’s a big deal, so at least the water will feel nice even if the surf isn't doing anything.

Through Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th, we’re still in the doldrums. Swell stays under 2ft, periods are short, and the winds are mostly cross or onshore, keeping things messy. Thursday the 13th sees a tiny bump to 3ft, but it’s short-period windswell with light cross winds—still not worth getting excited about.

Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th bring a bit of clean, offshore and cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at 1ft. It’s calm and clean but flat. Sunday morning the 16th is glassy with zero wind and a knee-high 1ft ripple—maybe something for a longboard if you’re desperate, but it’s not "surf."

Now, things get a bit more interesting around the 17th and 18th. Monday the 17th sees the swell push up to 4–4ft from the south, with moderate cross-shore winds. There’s moderate wave energy building (98–150). It’s still not great, but it’s the biggest of the week. Tuesday the 18th, the period jumps to 15 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, but the height drops to 2ft. The energy is moderate (139), and it’s clean on the morning. This is one of those long-period swells that can break too straight at a beach/jetty spot like this, so it might not deliver much shape.

From the 19th through the 21st, we see pulses of S/SE swell with periods around 10–11 seconds and heights between 2ft and 3ft. The energy climbs into the moderate range (153–266) but winds are mostly cross to cross-onshore, so it’s going to be lumpy. Thursday the 20th has 3ft and a fresh cross-onshore breeze—looks more like a kite day than a surf day.

The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd goes quiet again, with small, short-period slop and mixed winds. Then the final push comes on Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th: ESE swell at 4–5ft, but it’s short-period (7s) and cross-onshore—that’s going to be a bumpy, choppy mess. The energy is strong (181–190), but with that wind and short period, it’s not going to be clean.

So, to sum it up: there are no standout days here. The best you can hope for is a clean, small morning on the 16th with the glass, or maybe the clean 2ft groundswell on the 18th morning, but honestly, it’s a lot of waiting for not much. The longer the window goes, the less certain things get, so keep an eye out for changes, but don’t hold your breath.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
