The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase: the next couple of weeks at Wooden Jetties are looking pretty flat. There’s a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about. The water’s sitting at a balmy 78°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll feel nice on the skin while you’re getting skunked.
The first real chance of anything surfable comes on the morning of the 22nd of July. A 7ft southerly swell rolls in with a 9-second period, cross-offshore wind, and the combined energy is moderate at 939. The size is a bit much for beginners, but the clean conditions should make it a decent option for intermediates. The wind swings offshore that afternoon, with WNW winds at 12 mph, and the swell drops to 5ft from the south, still holding a clean face. This is the standout window.
After that 22nd, things fall apart. From the 23rd of July right through to the 5th of August, the surf is poor to non-existent. Swell heights hover below 3ft, periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or cross-shore and lumpy. There’s a brief moment on the afternoon of the 28th of July where the wind goes offshore again, but the swell is only 2ft from the SSE, making it a very weak, marginal session. The energy readings are in the low two-digit range for most of that time, barely a ripple.
The best bet, by a long shot, is the 22nd of July, particularly the afternoon session. The offshore wind and solid 5ft south swell should give you some clean, rideable walls. The spot is fairly consistent, but crowds are possible. Don’t get your hopes up for anything else in this window.

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.
