The Lowdown
Alright, let’s level with you. It’s a tough run for the next 16 days at Wooden Jetties, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. There’s a real gap here with no proper surf on offer for a long stretch. The first few days are flat. Then, we get a bit of a pulse, but it’s not simple.
The first real chance of anything rideable is on Wednesday the 22nd. The swell builds from the SSE, around 4ft, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate, sitting at 202. The wind is cleaning things up, from the WSW, giving a cross-off breeze. That morning, it’s looking clean. But the score is still poor surf conditions. By Wednesday afternoon, the swell jumps to 6ft from the S, with a period still at 9 seconds. The energy jumps to 709, which is a strong pulse. The wind is cross-off from the WNW, keeping it clean. It’s still just a marginal surf forecast, with tide issues possible. This is the only window in the whole 16 days that could offer a wave, but it’s not one for the faint-hearted. For a beginner, 6ft is getting too big, and for anyone, the quality is questionable.
Then, from the 23rd all the way through to the 3rd of August, the forecast is consistently poor. The swell drops, the wind turns onshore or cross-shore, and the combined energy is weak, mostly in the double digits. There’s just no quality on offer. The peak on the 31st of July shows a 5ft ENE swell with a cross-shore breeze (269 combined energy), but it’s still a poor surf condition with a marginal rating. The wind is on the nose, making it lumpy. It’s not a day for a paddle.
The water temperature is 78° on the first day, which is 5° warmer than normal—much warmer than usual for this time of year. The best of a bad lot is Wednesday the 22nd, but that’s a weak recommendation. Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the strong cross-onshore winds on the 21st and 28th of July might look more interesting than anything for a paddle surfer.
It’s a rough forecast. The area just doesn’t have the consistency right now, and a blank run like this is more normal than you’d hope.

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.
