Alright folks, same story but in feet and miles. Rusty here.
This is a grim stretch for the local area. A long, frustrating run of small, messy surf that’s just not worth getting wet for. The water is a standout though, sitting at an unusual 79°, much warmer than normal for the season.
It starts Sunday the 5th with waves barely a foot high and a light cross-on breeze—total waste of time. Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are still tiny and weak, with a glassy spell on Tuesday morning that won’t have a thing to surf. Wednesday through Thursday stays choppy and blown out. A rough start.
Friday the 10th offers a tiny flicker of hope. Morning brings a clean cross-off breeze on 2ft waves, and by the afternoon the wind turns offshore (WNW) and clean. It’s small, but it’s the first time the conditions line up at all. Still, the energy is weak.
Then it’s back to ordinary. The swell tries to build Monday the 13th with 5ft waves and moderate energy, but the cross-shore wind just chops it up. That lumpy, messy pattern holds until around Thursday the 16th, when we get another offshore breeze, but the swell drops back under a foot.
The only thing worth mentioning, and it’s a long wait, is Sunday the 19th of July. The swell jumps to 7ft out of the S with a huge energy reading of 828. That’s real power. But the cross-onshore wind is going to trash the face. For a beach/jetty spot like Wooden Jetties, 7ft with that wind is a ragged mess for experts only. It honestly looks better for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.
Monday the 20th cleans up a little with a light cross-off breeze on 3ft waves, but it’s nothing special. The whole two-week window is a dud—no good, clean, rideable surf on offer.
Rusty out.

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.
