The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s cut to the chase: the next 16 days are looking pretty flat, so if you’re waiting for a wave, you’ll be waiting a while. The finder shows a real dry spell from the 23rd of July all the way through to the 6th of August – that’s about two weeks with no decent surf. A few small bumps show up, but nothing worth paddling for.
Your only real shot is Wednesday, July 22nd, at Wooden Jetties. It’s a beach/jetty setup, fairly consistent, and the best swell direction is from the SE. That morning, we’ve got a 6ft swell from the SSW, period around 8 seconds – short period, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The combined energy is moderate at 709. Wind is cross-off from the WSW at 12 mph, which keeps it clean. Water temp is 77°, a touch warmer than normal. This one’s for intermediate surfers; 6ft is a bit much for beginners. Crowds are possible, so keep your wits about you.
By Wednesday afternoon, the swell drops to 3ft, still from the south with a short period. Wind stays cross-off, but conditions are ordinary. From Thursday the 23rd on, it’s a real struggle – tiny waves, poor quality, and often messy winds. The morning of Sunday the 26th of July is glassy, but with only 1ft of swell, there’s nothing to ride. That’s the story for the rest of the run: small, weak, and choppy. The combined energy values are mostly in the double digits, well under 100, so it’s weak.
For the second week, into early August, the swell is tiny and the wind is often onshore or cross-on. The 30th of July morning has a clean 3ft south swell, but it’s still just ordinary. Nothing to write home about.
So, if you’re keen, Wednesday morning the 22nd is your window. Everything else is a dud. The break is Wooden Jetties. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of the fortnight.
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.
