The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. This is Rusty, and the Wooden Jetties forecast is looking grim. We’re in for a long, quiet stretch with very little to get excited about.
The first few days are a total bust. Friday the 17th starts with a pathetic 0.3 ft SE swell, a 15-second period, but cross wind makes it a mess. Saturday and Sunday are no better. Sunday morning offers a bump to 3 ft from the SSE with a clean offshore wind, but the period is short and the energy is weak at 80. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
The dry spell continues. Monday and Tuesday are all onshore wind and messy chop. The swell is small and weak. Wednesday the 22nd morning sees a jump in energy to 779 with a 7 ft S swell, but a 25 mph crosswind and thunderstorms make it raw and dangerous. That’s for experts only. The afternoon cleans up to 4 ft SSE with an offshore WNW wind, but it’s still not a good score.
The rest of the month into August is a series of tiny, weak swells and poor wind. The combined energy is mostly under 100. The best we see is a glassy 2 ft bump on the morning of Friday the 31st of July, but it’s a 5-second period from the S—just a ripple. August 1st morning is onshore and weak.
No standout sessions here. The water is about average for the season, but that’s the only thing normal. This 16-day window is a long dry spell with no real recommendations. For this place, it’s not unusual, but it’s still a bummer. Things can change, but right now, don’t bother.
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.
