The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check the charts for the local patch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a decent paddle. We’ve got one spot on the radar, Wooden Jetties, but it’s a tough run. There is no surf of any real quality to speak of in the entire 16-day window. Every single session is marked as poor, so we’re in for a long, flat spell.
Starting from Tuesday the 4th of August, we’ve got nothing but small, choppy junk. Swell is tiny, barely pushing 2 ft from the SSE with a short period of 7 seconds, and that combined wave energy is a weak 53 (all values in brackets). It’s a cross-onshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph, making it messy. This pattern just doesn’t let up. Through Wednesday, Thursday, and into the weekend, the swell stays under 3 ft, mostly from the south to southeast, and the period rarely gets above 6 or 7 seconds. The energy readings hover between 30 and 60, which is weak stuff. The winds are rarely kind, mostly crossing or cross-onshore, keeping everything bumpy.
We get a tiny glimmer on Monday the 10th of August morning with a clean, cross-offshore wind from the west at 9 mph, but the swell is only 2 ft from the south. The energy is a measly 23 (in brackets). It would be clean, but there’s almost no wave to ride.
After that, it gets even smaller. From the 12th of August onward, we’re looking at waves mostly under 2 ft. By the 14th and 15th, it’s flat. For the last week of the forecast, from about the 14th of August to the 19th, you can forget it. We’re talking about a solid week of flat, unrideable conditions with energy readings dropping below 20. There’s simply no standout option here. The whole period is a washout for surfing.
Stay patient, keep checking the charts, but don’t expect to be wet for a while.
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.
