The Lowdown

Well, mate, I gotta be straight with ya – it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead for Wooden Jetties. This is one of those periods where you might as well leave the board in the shed and take up a book. The whole 16-day window is a blank run, with no surf worth paddling out for. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, 77°F, but that’s about the only nice thing I can say.

We kick off on Sunday, the 2nd of August, with a weak 3ft SSE swell at a shocking 4-second period, blown out by a cross-on breeze. The combined energy is a measly 22 – that’s barely a ripple. It’s poor surf conditions and a score of zero, and that’s the story all the way through. Monday the 3rd shows a bit more energy, 5ft SSE swell but with that 8-second period and a cross-shore wind, it’s all chop and no shape. The energy hits 256, but it’s still a write-off.

The rest of the first week and into the second is the same sad song: tiny swells, cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, and lumpy, choppy conditions. The biggest swell we see is 5ft on Monday morning, but it’s useless. The combined energy never gets above 256, and even that’s a poor, messy offering. By the time we hit the 14th, it’s a 0.7ft glassy morning – but that’s just flat, not surfable. The 15th through the 17th are all under 3ft, with weak, short-period energy and onshore winds. Short answer: there’s nothing here for a surfer. The consistency is fair, but that doesn’t matter when the quality is zero. With the swell directions mostly from the SSE and S, and the optimum for Wooden Jetties being SE, it’s all wrong. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’re into that. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
