Jake's Point - surf spot statistics

Jake's Point in Australia benefits from consistent ground swells year-round, with minimal wind swell interference, making it a reliable spot for surfers. The best conditions typically occur from May to September when ground swell dominance peaks (96-98%), swell size increases (averaging 1.7-2.1m), and the likelihood of good wind conditions improves (24-28%). Winter months (June-August) stand out with the largest swells (2.0-2.1m) and manageable cross-offshore winds, though unfavorable winds still prevail (72-76%). Autumn (April-May) and early spring (September) also offer solid, clean waves with decent wind windows. The summer months (December-February) provide smaller but still surfable swells (1.6-1.7m), though onshore winds are frequent (85-91%), reducing wave quality. March and October serve as transitional periods with strong ground swells but worsening winds as seasons shift. Overall, mid-year delivers the most powerful and cleanest surf, ideal for advanced surfers, while shoulder seasons can still yield decent sessions with selective timing. Consistency is high year-round, but wind remains the limiting factor outside the peak winter window.

July at Jake's Point offers consistent, powerful surf with a solid average swell height of 2.1m and a long-period swell averaging 14.2s, indicating well-spaced, clean waves. The dominant swell direction is from the WSW, contributing the majority of rideable waves, particularly in the 1.5–2.5m range. This setup favors experienced surfers, as the larger swells (over 2.5m) occur but are less frequent. Wind conditions are a mixed bag—while 28% of the time the wind is ideal (light offshore or cross-offshore), the rest can see moderate to strong onshore winds, particularly from the E to SE, which may create choppy or less clean conditions. The strongest winds tend to come from the ESE and SE, potentially disrupting shape. For those chasing quality sessions, target days with lighter W or WSW winds for cleaner faces. Overall, July delivers solid mid-winter surf, best suited for advanced surfers who can handle larger, powerful waves and pick their sessions around wind shifts.
