Silva Island-P Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up. Rusty here.

First thing you gotta know is there’s no surf worth paddling for right now, but don’t you worry – the wait is short. We’ve got a few solid days lined up starting this Saturday morning, the 25th of July.

The standout session of the whole run, no question, is Saturday morning the 25th at Silva Island-P Land. This is a protected reef setup, and it’s gonna be dead glassy with a light SE wind coming off the land. The swell is coming from the SSW at 2 ft, but with a very long period of 21 seconds, giving it some serious grunt. Combined swell energy is moderate at 409. This kind of period pushes right into a reef, so expect proper shaped lines, not the messy closeouts you get on a beach. The water temp is a balmy 87°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a tropical bath. The one downside: this spot can get a crowd, but with waves this clean and that size, it’s worth jostling for a spot. Ideal for advanced surfers on the take-off.

Sunday morning the 26th is another beauty. Same spot, same small 2 ft SSW swell, glassy again with a calm sea. The period dips a bit to 19 seconds, but still solid groundswell energy at 270.

Monday morning the 27th keeps the theme going: glassy conditions, 2 ft SSW at 19 seconds, energy up to 419. It’s a carbon copy of the weekend – just perfect.

Tuesday morning the 28th is where it gets a touch punchier. We see the swell push up to 3 ft from the SSW, with an 18-second period and a very strong energy reading of 557. The wind swings light offshore from the ESE, keeping it clean. The crowds will be around, but for the experienced crew, this is the pick of the more powerful swells.

From Friday the 31st onwards, things really wind down. The waves drop back under 2 ft and the periods shorten, with the combined energy falling into the weak 100s and even lower. Most afternoons turn to junk with cross-shore breeze. There’s a long, flat gap through the first week of August where the energy barely cracks triple digits – from the 2nd to the 5th, you’re looking at weak 1 ft to 1 ft dribble. The morning of Saturday the 8th shows a little flicker of life with 1 ft at 16 seconds and 165 energy, but it’s nothing special. And the morning of the 9th of August has a touch more size at 2 ft with 16 seconds and decent 181 energy under a glassy off-shore, but again, those sets are gonna be very inconsistent.

So, to sum it up, you’ve got a golden window this weekend and early next week. Don’t sleep on the Saturday morning glass-off – that’s the best on offer. After Tuesday, it’s a waiting game.
