The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee, I’ve been staring at the charts for this one. To be honest, it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead for us at Wooden Jetties. The forecast is calling for a whole lot of nothing special for the next two weeks. We're looking at a run of small, weak, and messy surf that’s just not going to get the heart pumping. There are no real standouts in the 16-day window, so we're just playing the waiting game.

The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than we'd normally expect for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort if you’re just going for a float.

Let’s break it down. The first few days, from Thursday the 6th through to the following weekend, we’ve got tiny swell. We're talking about 1.0 ft to 3 ft of swell coming mostly from the south and southeast, with short periods around 4 to 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly in the double digits (e.g., 38, 46, 125 at its best). The wind is a problem too—mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore, creating a lumpy, choppy mess. It’s not worth paddling out for.

There’s a slight, very slight, glimmer on the horizon. On Thursday the 20th, we see a bump in size. The morning shows 3 ft from the SSW with a short period, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore. The afternoon gets a bit better with 4 ft from the south, and the wind is still clean. The combined energy finally climbs to 104 (moderate). This is the best we’ve got, but it’s still a long way out and the swell is short-period, so the shape won't be anything special. This is a promising but less certain option for the more desperate among us.

Then, on Friday the 21st, we get a morning with glassy conditions and a little 2 ft SSE swell. The wind is a dead calm, which is a major positive for clean conditions, but the swell is too small and weak to get excited about. It’ll be a pretty, flat, ocean.

Honestly, with this constant run of poor surf quality and tiny, weak energy, the setup at Wooden Jetties looks more interesting for a kite surf session than a paddle surf one. The only days that might be worth a wet-suit pull are the 20th, but even then, keep expectations low. It’s one of those periods where it tends not to stay poor for long, but this run is looking like a legit blank.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the sky, and don't sell your board just yet.

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.
