The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Wooden Jetties over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak, with no real standouts. The main issue is we’ve got small swell and wind that’s almost always working against us. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 76°, which is a nice little bonus if you’re just having a float, but the quality of the surf is just not there.

The first few days through to the end of July are a write-off. Sunday the 26th has tiny 1ft swell from the SE with a light onshore breeze – poor conditions. Monday and Tuesday are even worse with stronger cross-onshore winds and chop. The combined swell energy is barely getting into double digits, hitting a low of 22 (weak energy), so there’s just no power in the water.

Wednesday the 29th is the closest we get to anything surfable. The morning sees a bit of a bump with the swell picking up to 2ft from the S, and the wind goes cross-off from the W (10 km/h). The energy is still weak at 94, but it’s clean. The afternoon gets a little better with the swell hitting 4ft from the S, and the combined energy jumps to 297 (moderate). The wind is still cross-off. It’s a marginal surf forecast, but if you’re desperate, that Wednesday afternoon is your best shot. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly, not a lot of push.

After that, it’s back to the same story. Thursday through to the 10th of August is more of the same – tiny swell, mostly under 3ft, and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy mostly stays in the 20-60 range. There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 4th of August with a light cross-off breeze (WNW at 5 km/h) and clean conditions, but the swell is only 2ft. Not worth paddling out for.

The long-range stuff into the second week – the 7th through the 10th of August – is just flat. Swell drops to 1.0ft to 2ft with periods of 4 to 9 seconds, and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore. The energy is weak, rarely breaking 50. There’s nothing to get excited about.

So, there’s no real standout session here. The only thing that even raises an eyebrow is Wednesday afternoon the 29th, and that’s a long shot. For a beach/jetty setup like this, with these small, short-period swells, it’s just not delivering. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon of the 29th might be more interesting with that moderate cross-off wind and a bit of bump, but for a paddle surfer? Leave the board at home. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a quiet spell.

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.
