The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, we’re looking at a pretty grim run. The whole 16-day window is a flat, windy mess with hardly a single session worth paddling out for. The first couple of weeks are just a write-off – day after day of small, weak, choppy slop. There’s a lot of poor surf conditions and low scores across the board, with a big gap of nothing worthwhile until we get a brief moment of something that almost looks okay.
The only real standout is a brief window on the morning of July 22 at Wooden Jetties. The swell picks up to 8 ft from the SSW, with a period of 8 seconds and a solid combined energy of 905 – that’s a strong push of energy. The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 12 mph, which will keep the surface nice and tidy. The water is a very unusual 78°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a proper, clean, punchy wave for an intermediate surfer. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so you’ve got a reasonable chance of a few fun ones. The swell is a bit solid for beginners, but for anyone comfortable in the 3-6 ft range, it’ll be worth a look. The break is a beach/jetty setup, so it won’t be a classic point, but with that clean wind and good energy, it’ll be a good one.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the month and into early August is full of tiny, weak, short-period windswell, mostly from the SSE or SE, with cross-onshore or cross-shore winds that are just going to chop it all up. There’s a couple of glassy mornings on July 31 and August 3, but the swell is too small – 3 ft and 2 ft with very short periods – so it’s flat, just clean. The combined energy readings are all in the weak double digits or low triple digits, telling you there’s nothing in the water.
In short, the only real surf is that Wednesday morning on July 22. If you can’t make that, don’t bother. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a two-week snooze.
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.
