The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a pretty quiet stretch ahead for the Wooden Jetties. The first week doesn’t have much to offer, with a real lull setting in. There’s a bit of a bump in the second week, but it’s not without its problems.
Looking at the whole picture, the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°.
The first surfable signs show up on Wednesday morning, July 29th. We’re looking at a clean, glassy morning with a 3ft swell from the SE. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it won’t have much punch, and the combined energy is low at 92. It’s surfable, but pretty ordinary. The glassy conditions are a real bonus though. That afternoon sees a risk of thunderstorms, but the wind stays glassy, with a 3ft SE swell and a bit more energy coming through at 138.
Thursday morning, July 30th, brings a clean 2ft SE swell with a gentle offshore wind from the WNW. Again, it’s small and pretty weak, with energy at 73. The period is still short at 8 seconds.
After that, the surf drops right off. From Friday, July 31st, all the way through to Tuesday, August 11th, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell hovers around 1.0ft to 1ft with poor conditions and cross-onshore winds. There’s a long gap where the wave energy is just too weak to be worthwhile.
The best chance of something decent, and it’s a long shot, shows up on Tuesday, August 11th. The swell picks up to 4ft from the ENE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy ramps up to 139, which is interesting. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy. It’s still rated as poor surf conditions, so it’s one to watch but not get too excited about. The swell direction from the ENE is a bit off for the optimum SE direction, which doesn’t help.
Overall, the standout is the Wednesday morning, July 29th, for the glassy, clean conditions. It’s the only time the stars align for a quiet, tidy paddle. The rest of the window is a real struggle. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a flat spell.

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.
