The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here again with the imperial picture for Silva Island-P Land. This reef break takes a good SW swell and can dish out some fun waves, but the next couple of weeks start small and only get interesting after a while.
From Friday July 17 through to Thursday July 23, it's all tiny 1.3–1.6 ft SSW groundswell with periods of 12–14 seconds. Wave energy sits in the low-to-mid hundreds (130–270), so moderate at best. Mornings are often calm or light offshore, giving you rideable but forgettable waves. Afternoons get messy with cross-shore breezes and some storm risk. A short-period 4.6 ft SW swell shows up Thursday July 23 afternoon (6 seconds, energy 270) but the wind is cross-onshore and the period is too short – it's junk.
Friday July 24 brings a weird one: only 1.3 ft swell but with a 24-second period (energy 263). That's deep-water groundswell but way too small to break properly – not worth a paddle.
The turn begins Saturday July 25. We get a run of longer-period SSW groundswell. First standouts: Saturday July 25 morning – 2.0 ft SSW at 21 seconds, clean cross-offshore breeze, energy 334. Then Sunday July 26 morning – 2.0 ft SSW at 19 seconds, glassy, energy 274. Nice clean conditions.
The best of the lot: Monday July 27 afternoon – 2.3 ft SW, 19 seconds, glassy, energy 554 – strong, clean, proper wave shape. Tuesday July 28 morning – 3.0 ft SSW at 18 seconds, still glassy, energy 619. That's the pick of the whole outlook – real power and length on the reef. Crowds are possible (it's a "sometimes" spot), but worth it.
After that the swell fades. Wednesday July 29 morning is still decent: 2.3 ft SW at 16 seconds, glassy, energy 325. Then Thursday and Friday (July 30–31) drop to 1.6–2.0 ft with shorter periods and more cross-shore wind. Saturday August 1 morning is just 1.3 ft SW

Information about the Silva Island-P Land Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Silva Island-P Land provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Silva Island-P Land can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Silva Island-P Land 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.
