The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Well, I’ve had a good look at the charts for the Wooden Jetties stretch, and I gotta be straight with you—this is a pretty grim run. We’re looking at a 16-day window, but honestly, there’s barely a single session that’s worth getting wet for. The first few days are a total write-off, with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The only real standout—and I’m using that term loosely—is a brief pulse of energy that shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July.
The overall pattern is dominated by small, weak, short-period windswell. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low two-digit range, which is just pathetic. We’re talking values of 51 down to 25, so don’t expect any grunt.
Now, let’s walk through it. Sunday the 19th through Tuesday the 21st of July is a complete bust. Swell is barely 1ft to 3ft, period is a short 5 to 7 seconds, and the wind is onshore or cross-shore. No bueno.
Then on Wednesday morning the 22nd of July, things get a bit interesting. The swell jumps to 6ft from the S, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 718, which is the only real spike in the whole forecast. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WSW, so the waves will be clean. It’s a beach/jetty setup, so with that size (6ft) and a fairly short period, it’ll be a bit crumbly, but for an intermediate surfer, it’s your best shot. The water temp is about average for the time of year. The downside is crowds are possible here, so don’t expect it to be empty.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Thursday the 23rd of July morning has a tiny 3ft wave with clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s so weak it’s barely surfable. From Friday the 24th of July all the way through to Monday the 3rd of August, the swell is consistently under 3ft, with periods between 4 and 8 seconds, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore making for choppy, poor conditions. The combined energy rarely breaks 100. It’s a long, flat, frustrating stretch.
So, if you’re desperate, paddle out on Wednesday morning the 22nd of July for the best (and really only) window. The rest of the time, save your energy. The break is fairly consistent but the swell just isn’t playing ball. Hopefully the long-range forecasts change, but don’t hold your breath.
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. 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.
