The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch of coastline is serving up a pretty flat and frustrated run of waves for the next 16 days. We’ve got a solid blank with no real action on offer for the first stretch, and honestly, nothing that’d get a local out of bed.
The first real chance for a paddle comes up on the morning of Sunday, 26th July. It’s still not great, but it’s the first break in the stillness. Wooden Jetties sees a modest 3ft of swell straight out of the east, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, keeping things a bit messy. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 77°. The combined energy is sitting at 125 (moderate), but it’s more of a bump than a wave. It’s not a standout, it’s just the first sign of life.
We’ve got a few days of small, choppy, and generally poor conditions after that. The wind swings around and keeps things lumpy. Nothing changes until we get to the afternoon of Thursday, 30th July. The swell bumps up a little, with 3ft from the SSE and a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 192 (moderate), but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s still a bit of a wrestling match. This is the best of a bad bunch, but it’s not what I’d call a good session.
Looking further ahead into the first week of August, the pattern stays stubborn. We’ve got a string of days with weak, short-period swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The only real spike in the energy comes on the morning of Friday, 7th August. The swell jumps to 5ft out of the SSW, but the period is a short 6 seconds. The combined energy reads 246 (strong), so there’s power there, but it’s a short-period, wind-affected mess. With a moderate cross-shore wind, this is more of a challenge for experienced surfers only – it’s over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The following day, Saturday, 8th August, shows a bit of hope with glassy conditions in the morning under a light breeze, but the swell is only 2ft from the south with a 6-second period. It’s clean but flat.
Overall, don’t hold your breath. There’s no standout session in the whole 16-day window. This is a lean run for the area, and it’s more normal to see a blank spell like this. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the boards in the shed.
Rusty.

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.
