The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for the next 16 days. It’s a bit of a slow start, but there’s a real gem tucked away in the long-range if you’re patient.

The first surfable action is a bit of a mixed bag at Wooden Jetties (beach/jetty). We kick off Wednesday the 22nd of July with a solid 6.2 ft swell from the S, but a strong cross-off wind from the WSW is going to keep things a little scrappy. The energy is moderate (689), but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit on the dumpy side. It’s more of a session for the hardy intermediate crew. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

After that, we hit a dry spell. From Thursday the 23rd all the way through to the end of July, the swell drops out and the wind turns nasty. It’s a real shame – days and days of poor surf with cross-shore and onshore winds, tiny waves, and weak energy figures. The morning of the 30th offers a tiny 2.6 ft SSE swell with a light offshore breeze, and the energy is just 93 – it’s surfable, but barely. Not worth rushing out for.

The first few days of August are more of the same. The 31st of July and 1st of August have a little bump in size, but the wind is messy. The 1st of August morning shows a glassy 2.6 ft from the ESE, but it’s just too small to get excited about.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real standout is shaping up for Wednesday the 5th of August morning. This is the one you want to circle on your calendar. The swell jumps to 5.6 ft from the SSE, with a proper 11-second period – that’s a groundswell with real push. The energy is strong (685), and the wind is coming from the NNW, giving us a clean, offshore breeze. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions,” and for good reason. This is a classic setup for Wooden Jetties, though it’s a beach/jetty, so be aware that long-period swell can straighten out a bit. Still, with that offshore wind, it’ll be the best waves we’ve seen in this entire forecast. This is a morning for the intermediate and above crowd to get wet.

The following day, Thursday the 6th of August morning, drops back down to 3.9 ft with a cross-shore wind, so that Wednesday window is the clear winner. The rest of the long-range is a write-off.

So, overall, it’s a lean forecast with a big gap in the middle. But the 5th of August morning is a true standout. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
