The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast for the next two weeks is a pretty grim one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, messy, and mostly cross-onshore slop. The only real window of opportunity to get wet is a fleeting couple of days around the end of July, but even then, you’ll have to be happy with knee-high waves.
The first real surfable pulse shows up on Wednesday, July 29th. The morning at Wooden Jetties is actually looking glassy, with a light WSW breeze keeping things clean. Swell is a tiny 3 ft from the SE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 71, so don’t expect any power. It’s a proper beginner-style wave, but with the wind off, you’ll at least have a smooth surface to play on. The water is sitting at 76°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
Thursday, July 30th morning is the other standout. The wind swings to a light WNW cross-off, cleaning up the 2 ft SSE swell. Wave energy is still low (76), but the clean conditions make it the best of a bad lot. The swell is short period at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit gutless. For a longboard or a foamie, it’s your best bet.
From Friday onwards, it’s a slow fade into worse form. Winds turn onshore from the SE, and the swell drops to less than 2 ft. There’s a spike in energy on Monday, August 3rd with a 4 ft SE swell and period of 9 seconds, pushing the combined energy to 260 (moderate). But the 15 mph S wind will turn it into a choppy, bumpy mess. The quality is poor, and with the swell direction coming from the SE, it’s not lining up well for the break. Honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
After that, we’re done. The last week of the forecast is tiny, choppy, and windy. There’s a big gap from the start of August right through to the 11th with literally nothing worth recommending. The occasional 2 ft swell shows up, but it’s always cross-onshore or onshore, with energy values dropping to single digits. Inconsistent doesn’t even cover it – it’s almost completely flat.
So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, hit Wooden Jetties on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th or Thursday, July 30th for clean, small waves. Otherwise, save your energy. This is a classic blank run for the area, and it’s not looking like it’ll change anytime soon.
Rusty.

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.
