The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here again for the imperial version. Let's break down what Wooden Jetties is looking like.
First off, from Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Sunday the 19th, it's a total write-off. Tiny, weak swell, and messy winds keep things flat and ugly. The combined energy readings are in the teens, so there's just nothing to work with.
We finally see a change on Monday the 20th of July. The morning shows a glassy 3ft swell out of the SSE with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is dead calm—glassy conditions! The combined energy is 93, still weak, but at least it's rideable. The water temperature was a very unusual 77°, way warmer than what we usually get this time of year.
From there, the rest of the period is pretty average. Swell heights stick around 2ft to 3ft, but the wind is often cross-shore or onshore, keeping things choppy. We do get a jump in combined energy on the 24th and 25th (up to 186 and 201), but the swell is coming from the SE and ESE with periods between 10 and 14 seconds, and the onshore wind kills any real quality.
The honest truth? Monday the 20th of July morning is your only shot at a clean, glassy wave, and even then, it's small. For the rest of the 16 days, it's not worth the effort. Keep the stick in the garage for now.
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.
