The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a look at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for the Wooden Jetties. There’s just no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. Every single day, from July 31st right through to August 15th, the call is for poor surf conditions. That’s a solid two weeks of flat, messy, or junk surf.
The core problem is persistent, choppy cross-onshore winds. We’ve got a tiny spit of swell running for most of the period, but it’s mostly tiny, short-period, wind-driven junk. The combined energy figures are in the weak range, often struggling to get past double digits and only briefly touching a moderate 257 on the afternoon of the 3rd of August. Even then, that 5 ft SSE swell is getting hammered by a fresh 22 mph south wind, making it a lumpy, blown-out mess. The water is sitting at a pretty warm 76°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
The only glimmer of anything approaching clean occurs on the 9th of August, Sunday morning, when we get a gentle cross-offshore breeze and a 2 ft south swell. The wave energy is a meager 39 though, and the period is only 6 seconds. It’d be a dribbly, gutless longboard wave at best, and since it’s a beach and jetty setup, it’s just not going to hold any shape. We also get a clean window on the 12th of August, Wednesday morning, with a light cross-offshore from the north-northeast, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft at 7 seconds with a weak 42 energy score. It’s a cruel tease.
For pretty much the entire run, this is better suited for a kite than a paddle. The winds are strong enough and the surf is trash. Don’t waste your energy. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not all that unusual. Keep the wax in the cupboard and check back with me later. Forecasts can change.
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.
