The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a rough-looking 16-day window for Wooden Jetties. I’ve scanned the numbers and there’s no real standout session to get excited about. The whole period is one long stretch of ordinary to poor conditions, so we’re looking at a solid 16-day gap with no proper recommendations.
The water is sitting at 77° right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s about it for the good news. The swell energy is weak for most of the run, with only a few blips of moderate energy. For example, on Saturday the 25th July morning we get a combined energy of 107 (moderate), but the wind is a messy cross-shore at 16 mph, ruining any chance of decent shape. The swell is tiny anyway – just 3 ft from the east with a short 7-second period, so it’s choppy and weak.
The only window that even looks *surfable* comes on Thursday morning the 30th July. The wind goes glassy – 3 mph from the north – and the swell is 2 ft from the SSE with a 9-second period. That’s a bit more period, and the glassy conditions mean the surface will be clean. But it’s still a very small swell, and the combined energy is only 73 (weak). It’s a tiny window, and it’s not going to be any kind of classic. You might get a few knee-high rollers if you’re desperate.
The rest of the run is a write-off. Cross-onshore winds, short-period slop, and choppy conditions dominate. There’s a brief spike in energy on Tuesday the 28th July afternoon (206 combined energy – moderate) but the swell is a messy 3 ft from the SSW with a 6-second period and onshore wind at 16 mph. That’s not surfable for a paddle board; it’s more of a kite-surfing chop fest.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where you’re better off leaving the board in the garage. The lack of consistency and quality here is normal for this area – it’s not a surprise when it goes flat and messy for a while. Check back in a week or so; forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
