The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board. Rusty here.
It’s a bit of a slow burn for this stretch, with plenty of flat spells and only a couple of windows that are really worth getting excited about. Let’s run through it.
The first good news doesn’t come until Thursday, September 4th. The morning brings a tiny pulse of 1ft SE groundswell (12-second period) with moderate wave energy (327) and clean conditions under a light cross-offshore breeze from the north. It’s only a marginal call—tide or consistency could make it tricky—but it’s the first real chance to get wet after a long run of nothing. Velzyland is a reef break that can turn on with the right direction, and this SE swell is a solid match for the optimum direction. Crowds are possible here.
Friday morning, September 5th, is barely a whisper: 0.5ft SE groundswell (11 seconds) and clean with a light offshore, but the energy is almost nothing (31). Not worth chasing.
The real standout, and I mean *the* one to circle on the calendar, is Tuesday morning, September 15th. Velzyland will see clean, glassy conditions with zero wind and a solid 2ft ESE groundswell rocking up with a long 12-second period. The combined swell energy is a healthy 595—moderate, but punchy. This is groundswell, and on a reef like Velzyland, that long period will wrap in nicely and produce proper, lined-up waves. It won’t be too big for intermediates, and the light offshore (glass) will make for some of the cleanest conditions in the whole forecast. This is the session to prioritise.
The water temperature is 73°F, which is just about bang on average for this time of year.
Outside of those moments, the rest of the period is plagued by poor surf conditions, strong onshore or cross-shore winds, and a lot of short-period, weak energy slop. Wednesday, September 10th, sees a jump in size—8ft to 8ft ESE swell—but it’s mostly onshore, lumpy, and coming with rain. That’s expert territory with messy conditions, not ideal for a paddle session. More of a kite-surfing setup.
So in short: don’t bother until Thursday the 4th for a marginal one, but save your energy for Tuesday the 15th. That’s the morning to be in the water.
Rusty.

Information about the Velzyland Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Velzyland provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Velzyland can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Velzyland 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 (Velzyland) 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 Velzyland 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.
