The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Wooden Jetties. We're in for a rough stretch for a while, so don't get your hopes up just yet.
We’re looking at a long, grim run of tiny, weak surf with breezy, messy winds. The entire first week is shot. From Wednesday the 29th of July straight through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s basically a write-off. Swells are tiny, not even hitting 3 ft for most of that, and the combined energy is weak, sitting below 100 for almost all of it. The water temp is feeling about 77°F and running a touch warmer than normal, but you won’t be feeling much else.
We finally see a flicker of life on Monday morning the 10th of August. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the South, and the combined energy jumps to 293 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be lumpy and disappointing. Still no go.
Now, mark this one down. Tuesday morning the 11th of August. That’s the standout. The swell holds at 5 ft from the South, with combined energy at 314 (moderate wave energy). And the wind is light from the West, which gives us a clean, glassy feel. It won’t be huge, but it’s the best we’ve got, and the only session where you’ll find a decently shaped wave. Given the dry spell, this is a proper window. Don't expect much after that; it drops right back off into the junk zone. The rest of the 16-day forecast is a bust.
This is a classic case of waiting it out, folks. The next few weeks are lean, so if you can line up for that Tuesday morning on the 11th, you’d be silly not to.
- 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.
