The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
The next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Wooden Jetties. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until Wednesday, July 22nd. The water is sitting at 78° – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year.
The only real standout is Wednesday morning, July 22nd. The swell comes up to 6ft from the south, with a combined energy of 705 – that’s strong. The wind is cross-off from the WSW, keeping the surface clean. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period swell, but for this spot, it’s the best we’ll see. This one is for the experienced crew – 6ft is too big for beginners. The waves should be punchy and clean.
After that, it’s back to small and messy. There’s a glassy morning on Thursday, July 30th, with 4ft swell from the east, but it’s just ordinary. The crowds at Wooden Jetties are listed as “sometimes,” so you might see a few others, but it’s not going to be packed.
If you’re not out on Wednesday the 22nd, you’re probably best off sitting this one out. The rest of the forecast is a bunch of nothing.
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.
