Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wooden Jetties over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s take a long, hard look at the next 16 days at Wooden Jetties. I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. There’s a real dry spell on the cards, with nothing worth paddling out for over the first several days. The water is currently sitting at a very unusual 78°F, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing worth noting for a while.
The first recommendation isn’t until the morning of Saturday, July 11th. Even then, it’s a bit of a tease. We’ve got 3ft of swell from the ENE, but it’s short-period stuff at 6 seconds and the energy is pretty moderate (112). The saving grace is a clean offshore wind from the north, which will tidy things up. For an intermediate, it’s a possible go, but the crowd is sometimes there, so pick your moment.
Then it’s back to the quiet. The next time we see anything close to interesting is the morning of Saturday, July 18th. Swell drops right off to 2ft from the south, but the wind swings offshore from the NW, making for clean conditions. It’s tiny though, and the period is a pathetic 4 seconds, so the energy is weak (27). Not much to get excited about.
The true standout, and I mean the only real highlight in this whole outlook, is the morning of Sunday, July 19th. The swell pushes back up to 3ft from the south. It’s still a short 4-second period, so it’s not going to have much punch, but the winds go glassy. Absolutely flat calm. That will make Wooden Jetties look its best – smooth, clean lines. The combined energy is still only weak (52), but for a beach/jetty setup like this, the glassy conditions are the main event. It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s for intermediates only; beginners might find it too small to be worth the effort.
After that, the outlook fades again into small, onshore choppy conditions right through to Wednesday, July 22nd. There’s just no real power or good wind alignment to recommend chasing anything else.
So, in short: the water is weirdly warm, the surf is mostly flat or messy. The one and only window to keep an eye on is that glassy morning on Sunday, July 19th. Everything else is a skip.
Rusty.
