The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Wooden Jetties. Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s mostly flat or just tiny, messy windswell. The water is a warm 78° – that’s *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, so at least a dip will feel good even if the waves aren’t playing ball.
Right now, through Friday the 17th, it’s glassy in the morning with a tiny 0.3ft SE swell, but the energy is weak (15). It’s really just a lake paddle. Saturday the 18th is a write-off with a risk of thunderstorms and a 4ft windswell from the south, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds – that’s just junky, gutless chop. Not worth your time.
We finally get a bit of a pulse on Wednesday morning, July 22nd. The swell jumps to 7ft from the south, with a period of 8 seconds and a solid 884 combined energy. That’s moderate-to-strong energy. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the west, which should keep the surface clean. But that 7ft is pushing into expert-only territory – it’s going to be a serious handful. The jetty setup might offer some shape, but it’s not a beginner’s day. The afternoon drops to 4ft, still clean, but the energy is lower (203).
Thursday the 23rd morning has a light offshore wind from the NNW, but the swell is only 3ft with 88 energy. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The rest of the run into the end of July and start of August is either tiny, choppy, or onshore. There’s a small window on Tuesday afternoon, July 28th, with a moderate offshore wind and a 2ft SE swell, period 10 seconds – but the energy is only 63. It’s clean, but small.
The only real standout here is Wednesday morning, July 22nd. That’s the one day with size and clean wind. If you’re an experienced surfer, that’s your window. For everyone else? This stretch is a long gap of flatness and frustration. Just keep the board waxed and hope the next system brings something better.
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.
