The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days at Wooden Jetties are a tough watch. There’s no real run of quality surf on offer, and the first recommendation isn’t until Tuesday, July 28th. That’s a solid two-week gap of nothing but poor surf conditions and ordinary waves, so strap in for a quiet spell.
We start off with a stretch from Tuesday, July 14th through to Monday, July 27th where the swell is tiny, messy, or just blown out. The water is sitting at a very warm 77°F, which is a massive 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll be surfing in a bath. Early on, the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but the swell is weak and short-period, with combined energy hanging around just 35 (weak) to 58 (weak). There’s a brief moment of glass on Saturday, July 18th afternoon with a light 2ft S swell and a period of 6 seconds, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. The energy is only 42 (weak).
The only real standout in the whole outlook comes on Tuesday, July 28th morning. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the SSE, period of 7 seconds, with a clean offshore NNW wind at 9 mph. The combined energy hits 190 (moderate) – the best of the whole run. Conditions are described as surfable, and with that offshore flow, it’ll be clean. It’s still not a pumping day, but it’s the pick of a very lean bunch. The afternoon of the 28th holds similar 3ft SSE swell with light WNW cross-off wind and energy at 148 (moderate), also clean.
Wednesday, July 29th morning offers a smaller 2ft ESE swell with a clean offshore NW wind at 12 mph, but the energy drops to 63 (weak). The afternoon picks up a bit with 3ft SSE swell, cross-off wind, and energy of 92 (weak) – surfable, but still ordinary.
Honestly, if you’re hanging for a paddle, aim for the 28th morning. The rest is a waiting game. The Jetties are fairly consistent, so it won’t stay this poor forever, but right now, it’s a long, flat, and windy stretch.
Stay patient.

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.
