The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a look at what’s on the cards for the next stretch, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window where the conditions are just not cooperating. There’s a real lack of quality surf on offer, and you’ll be waiting a long time before anything even comes close to being worth a paddle.
The first glimmer of something rideable doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 22nd of July, and even then, it’s a real stretch. That means we’ve got a dead zone from now until then, with nothing but small, wind-affected leftovers. The combined wave energy is weak, often below 100, and the wind is all over the shop, mostly cross-shore or onshore, tearing up what little swell there is.
For Valdovino, the only spot on the radar, the water is running a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 62°F with a -3°F anomaly. Nothing too wild, but you’ll feel it.
The best I can honestly point you to is the morning of Wednesday the 22nd. It’s not a standout in the classic sense, but it’s the least bad. You’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the NNE, with a period of 7 seconds, and the key thing is the wind goes glassy. That’s the only window where the surface might be clean enough to have a go on a longboard. The combined energy is a modest 118, so it’s weak, but it’s surfable. The rest of that day and the days after are just a write-off of onshore slop, blown-out conditions, and tiny, weak waves.
Honestly, for a stretch like this, with the wind howling from the NE and the swell quality so poor, the setup at Valdovino looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a tough outlook. Stick with it though, forecasts can change, and it can’t stay this poor forever.

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.
