Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at the charts and I'm struggling to find a real reason to paddle out over the next 16 days. The whole period is a bit of a dud, I'm afraid. The water is running at a warm 77°F which is a full 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus if you just want a swim, but the waves… they're just not there.
The first few days are a write-off. We're looking at tiny, weak, short-period windswell from the east and southeast, barely pushing 2ft, and the energy is weak. The wind is a messy cross-on or onshore, so it's all chop and no shape. There's nothing to recommend at all until Tuesday the 15th, and even then the swell is a paltry 1ft. It stays clean on Wednesday thanks to a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell height is still tiny. The whole first week is a dead loss.
We get a slight bump on Tuesday the 21st. The swell finally pushes over 3ft, hitting 4ft in the morning and 4ft in the afternoon from the south. The energy even gets into the moderate range. But the wind is a howling 12-18 mph cross-onshore, turning it into a lumpy, blown-out mess. It's a classic case of more swell, but terrible quality. For a beach/jetty setup like Wooden Jetties, that's more of a kite-surfing breeze than a paddle-surfing one.
The third week is a slow fade. There are a couple of bright spots, like a glassy morning on Thursday the 23rd and a glassy afternoon on Friday the 24th, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. The period is a bit better, but there's just no water moving to make it worthwhile.
The Bottom Line: There are no good surf options in the 16-day window. The energy is just too low, and when it does pick up, the wind ruins it. It's a blank run. It can't stay this poor forever, but right now, leave the boards at home and enjoy the warm water for a float.

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.

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.
