The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the only show in town for this stretch.
First up, we’re looking at Wooden Jetties. This spot is a beach and jetty setup, fairly exposed to the swell. The main issue straight away is that for the next 16 days, the surf quality is rated as poor across every single session. There are no standout days, no hidden gems, just a whole lot of nothing happening. The first week is a total write-off.
Let's break down what little there is. On the 3rd of August, Monday, we get a pulse of swell. The combined swell energy hits a moderate 608, with a 6ft swell coming from the SSE. The wind is a light offshore cross-off from the SW, so the surf should be clean. But the rating still only gives it a 1, which suggests the tide or shape is just off. On the other side of that same day, the swell drops to 5ft and the wind goes cross-shore, but it's still a marginal call at best. The same goes for the afternoon of the 10th and the morning of the 11th, where we get a clean surface from a cross-off and offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at 3ft and 2ft, with hardly any energy behind it.
For the rest of the period, from the 4th of August right through to the 17th, it’s just a monotonous run of tiny, weak waves and poor to marginal surf conditions. The combined swell energy is almost always below 100, and the swell heights hover around 1.0ft to 4ft. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and messy. Even when the wind turns clean, there’s no swell to ride.
Honestly, folks, this is a tough one. There is no good surf on offer. This stretch of days is likely just a calm period for the area. If you see a stiff cross-onshore breeze and a bit of swell, the setup might actually look more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle session. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, which isn't much consolation when the waves are a no-show.
Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, don’t bother waxing up. This is a long, dry spell.
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.
