Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wooden Jetties over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down Imperial style for the same stretch. This 16-day window at Wooden Jetties is looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a solid gap of several days with no real surf to speak of, so don’t rush out there.
The first whisper of a wave comes on Saturday, July 18th. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the south, with a short 6-second period and light cross-off winds from the SW. The combined energy is only 71 (weak). It’s clean, but barely a ripple. That afternoon, the swell builds to 4ft from the south, still short period at 6 seconds, and energy hits 110 (moderate), but the wind swings onshore from the SSE. It’s gonna be choppy and rough.
Sunday, July 19th, the morning is small again at 3ft from the SSE, with an 8-second period and light cross-onshore wind. The energy is 103 (moderate). The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off wind from the north, but the swell drops to 2ft. Not much to work with.
The best call of the whole outlook is Monday, July 20th. We’ve got a 3ft SSE swell with a 9-second period – that longer period means better shape and more power. The energy is 134 (moderate), and the wind is cross-shore from the NE. It’s the most rideable we’ll see all week. Water temp is about normal for this time of year, so no shock there.
Later in the week, things get bigger but uglier. By Tuesday, July 21st afternoon, the swell jumps to 6ft from the south, but with a short 7-second period and strong cross-onshore winds. The energy spikes to 424 (strong), but it’s a messy, lumpy beast. Honestly, that’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day. Wednesday, July 22nd morning is similar: 5ft south swell, 7-second period, 363 energy (strong), but still cross-onshore.
The tail end of the window, from July 23rd onward, drops back to 3ft or less, with light but onshore winds. Nothing to get excited about.
So, if you’re picking a day, go for Monday, July 20th. It’s the only one that looks like it might offer a few fun, waist-high runners. The rest is a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
