The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in from the beach. Let's talk about what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell for Valdovino. The 16-day window is pretty much a bust for any decent paddle surfing. The first real run of any kind of wave energy doesn't show up until the morning of Saturday, August 2nd, but even then, it's not great. We’ve got a long gap from now until then with nothing but small, messy, and poor surf conditions. The forecast is lean, but it’s the kind of lull that happens out here from time to time.
The closest thing to a standout—and I'm stretching the term here—is honestly the only time we get a sniff of something rideable. On the morning of Sunday, August 3rd, there's a pulse of swell from the west at 2ft with a 10-second period. The combined swell energy is moderate (118). The real kicker? The wind is glassy, dead calm from the WSW at 3 mph. That’s rare. The water temperature is about average for the time of year. This is the only window where the conditions are clean, but the waves are still just "surfable but very ordinary." It's a session for the soul, not the highlight reel.
After that, it’s more of the same. The building swell on the 8th of August (Friday morning) hits 5ft from the NNW with a clean cross-offshore breeze, and the energy jumps to a strong 243. But the wave quality is still just "ordinary" at best, and the period is a short 7 seconds. The afternoon gets blown out.
The rest of the run is steadily poor. By the 12th of August (Wednesday morning), the swell pushes 5ft from the west with a 9-second period and a massive 355 in combined energy, but the wind is cross-offshore and strong. It looks like a wind swell setup that would be more interesting for kite surfing than a clean paddle session. The 13th of August (Thursday morning) is similar with 5ft from the WNW and very strong energy (451), but it's all cross-offshore and clean, yet the wave quality is still rated as poor. It’s a frustrating pattern.
So, to sum it up: if you are desperate, you might get a few glassy waves on the morning of August 3rd. Otherwise, this is a pretty blank run. Go for a walk, clean your gear, and wait for the next proper groundswell. The forecasts can change, so I wouldn't write it off completely, but right now, there's no real fire.

Information about the Valdovino Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Valdovino provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Valdovino can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Valdovino surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Valdovino) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Valdovino 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
