The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you – the forecast for this region is a tough one. We're looking at a 16-day window that starts with a proper dry spell. There's a big gap with no real surf on offer from now until the morning of Monday, 28 July. That's a solid few days of nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday morning, 28 July, at Valdovino. The swell is coming from the NW at 4 ft, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined swell energy is sitting at 300 (moderate). The real kicker is the wind: glassy, from the WSW at just 3 mph. That's about as clean as it gets. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This is the standout of the whole forecast – a proper window of glassy conditions with a clean, surfable wave. It's a fairly exposed spot, so it'll pick up whatever is out there for an intermediate surfer.
Tuesday afternoon sees the wind shift and the quality drops. Wednesday and Thursday aren't worth a mention. Friday morning, 31 July, has a tiny 2 ft NW swell with glassy conditions, but the energy is weak (71) – it's surfable but very ordinary. Saturday morning, 1 August, has a similar story: 3 ft NNW swell, glassy again, but still weak energy (148). You can get a few if you're desperate, but it's not a session to write home about.
After that, the forecast gets ugly. From Sunday, 2 August, right through to the end of the period on Monday, 10 August, it's a write-off. The wind is consistently cross-shore and strong, gusting up to 19 mph or more, with lumpy, choppy conditions. Swell heights bob around between 2 ft and 6 ft, but the wind and poor quality mean it's a complete mess. The 6 ft swell on the afternoon of Friday, 7 August, might look tempting, but it's a short-period N'ly windswell with a fresh breeze ruining every wave. This setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, to sum it up: if you can get out on Tuesday morning, 28 July, that's your one clear shot. After that, it's a long wait for something that never really arrives.
Rusty.

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.
