The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I'm looking at the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, the charts are pretty grim. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing good. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn't show up until the very end of the first week, and even then it's a gamble.
From Saturday the 25th through the end of July, it's a total write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is all messed up, and the water's just a mess. There's a brief moment on the morning of Thursday the 30th of July when the wind goes clean and offshore, but at 2 feet, the swell is just too small to do anything with.
The only glimmer of hope is on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the SE, with a 9 second period, and the energy is moderate (185). The wind is cross-shore but light, so it's not completely blown out. Then, by the afternoon, the swell jumps to 5ft from the SSE, with a strong energy reading of 397. The wind goes light and onshore, which is a bummer. That afternoon pulse is the most power we'll see in the whole two weeks. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 76°, and every session in the file is called "poor surf conditions." The break is Wooden Jetties, a beach/jetty setup that's fairly exposed and can get crowded sometimes. With the swell hitting 5ft, it's getting into expert territory, but the wind will make it a messy challenge.
After that one day, it's back to the same old story. The swell drops off, the wind is all over the place, and the energy readings are weak. It's a tough run. With the swell so small and the wind mostly trash, a beach setup like Wooden Jetties just isn't going to hold any shape. You might see the kite surfers having more fun than us.
That's the outlook. A long wait for a short, messy window. Keep your board waxed, but don't hold your breath.

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.
