Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you right off the bat – looking at this 16-day stretch for the Wooden Jetties, it’s a tough one. There’s just nothing to get excited about. This is one of those classic blank runs where the forecast is giving us a big fat zero for quality surf, and that’s honestly pretty normal for this area when the conditions don't line up. It’s a bit of a grind, but that’s how it goes sometimes – the ocean keeps us humble.

The first week is basically a write-off. Starting Sunday, July 12th, we’ve got tiny, weak swell at 3 ft from the east with a super short period of 5 seconds, and the wind is howling onshore. The combined wave energy is next to nothing (41), and the onshore breeze is making a mess of things. This same poor theme runs right through, with small swell, wrong winds, and choppy conditions. A bit of a tease comes on Tuesday, July 14th morning when the wind goes light and cross-offshore, but the swell is barely 1 ft – not enough to push a leaf, let alone a surfboard.

There is a tiny moment on Thursday, July 16th morning that almost breaks a heart. The wind goes completely glassy (0 mph) and we see a little 0.9 ft SE swell. It would be clean, but there’s just no power. The combined energy is a pitiful 21. Even the afternoon of the 16th with gentle offshore wind from the NW can’t save it – the swell is too small.

The second week doesn't offer any relief. It’s more of the same: small, weak swells, mostly onshore or strong cross-shore winds. The energy levels stay in the dumps, usually below 100. The only event that even registers on the energy scale is the morning of Sunday, July 27th. We see the biggest swell of the outlook at 6 ft from the south, and the combined energy jumps to 446, which is moderate. But here’s the killer: the wind is a cross-onshore from the east at 12 mph, making it a choppy mess. For a beach/jetty setup like this, it’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. That’s all she wrote.

No standouts here, folks. It’s one to sit out, watch the charts, and hope the next run gets its act together.

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.
