Silva Island-P Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Silva Island-P Land.

This is a reef break, and it’s exposed to the swell. The water is running at 87° right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a good 4° above average, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or even just boardshorts if you’re tough enough.

The first surf worth paddling out for is Monday afternoon, July 13th, but it’s nothing to write home about. We’ve got a tiny 2ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, and the combined swell energy is weak (136). The wind is glassy though, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Honestly, the best thing about this stretch is the clean conditions early on.

The real standout is the Monday morning, July 27th. That’s two weeks out, so it’s a promising long-range call, not a lock. But look at this: a 2ft SSW swell with a long 18-second period, glassy wind, and the combined energy jumps to 225 (moderate). The forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the best we’ve got. The longer period means the waves will have some shape and energy, but at a reef break like this, it should set up nicely. Expect clean, lined-up waves for the more experienced crew. It’s advanced, so beginners should sit this one out.

Also worth a mention is the Tuesday morning, July 28th. Another 2ft SSW swell, 17-second period, glassy again, and combined energy of 223. That’s a solid follow-up session if the Monday delivers.

The rest of the run is a lot of small, ordinary surf with occasional wind issues. There are a few mornings with glassy conditions, especially on the 14th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 22nd, and 26th. But the swell is tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft. The afternoons often get choppy with cross or cross-onshore winds.

The combined energy drops below 100 in the last week of July, especially on the 23rd and 24th, when the period nosedives to 6–7 seconds – that’s weak, short-period slop. Not worth the paddle.

The 25th of July has a 1ft SSW swell with a very long 21-second period and combined energy of 242, but it’s onshore in the morning, and the afternoon glass-off only brings 1ft. So it’s more of a looker than a surfer.

Crowds can show up sometimes at this spot, so expect a few others when the conditions are good. Given it’s a reef break and advanced, there’ll be some drop-ins, but the vibe is usually fine.

So, bottom line: the first week is mostly tiny and forgettable, with a few clean windows. The best bet is the Monday and Tuesday at the end of July – 27th and 28th. That’s your window.

Rusty.
