The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Silva Island-P Land in feet and Fahrenheit. This reef handles a solid SW swell, and right now the water’s sitting at 87°F, which is well above normal for this time of year – over 4°F warmer than usual. That’s a big deal.
First week is pretty slow. Small surf, but with some glassy mornings that at least make it look clean.
Sunday the 23rd morning has tiny 1ft SW swell, glassy, combined energy is weak (100). Just a paddle session.
Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th mornings are the same story – 1ft SW, glassy, energy hanging around 95 to 120. Nothing exciting but the water’s warm.
Wednesday the 26th morning is glassy with 1ft SW and a 15-second period, but energy drops to 87. Thursday the 27th morning is almost flat at 0.7ft.
Friday the 28th morning shows a little life: 1ft SW swell with a long 19-second period, energy up to 157, glassy. Small but the long period gives it some push.
Saturday the 29th morning is the first real turning point. Swell bumps to 2ft from the SW, 16-second period, energy hits 296 – moderate. Glassy. This is your first proper session.
Sunday the 30th morning repeats that 2ft SW swell, 14-second period, energy at 253, still glassy. Good but a touch shorter period.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September mornings drop back to around 2-2ft, with energy fading. Still glassy but lackluster.
Thursday the 3rd of September morning signals a change: 2ft SW swell but period stretches to 20 seconds, energy 247, glassy. The quality for the reef is excellent.
Friday the 4th of September morning is the standout. Swell hits 3ft from the SW, 18-second period, combined energy blasts to 496 – strong. Glassy winds. This is the best session of the whole run. The direction is right on SW, and the reef will love this long-period groundswell. It’s still manageable for advanced surfers but too much for beginners.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September mornings hold that 3ft SSW swell, energy staying between 450 and 476, glassy to clean. Solid weekend.
Monday the 7th of September morning drops to 2ft SW, 14-second period, energy 238, still glassy. A nice finish.
So the first week is mostly small and ordinary. The real run starts Saturday the 29th of August morning and peaks with Friday the 4th of September morning. After that, the weekend holds well. Most mornings are glassy – that’s a huge plus. Crowds can show sometimes, but with the consistency and quality, it’s worth it.

Information about the Silva Island-P Land Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Silva Island-P Land can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
