The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks at Velzyland.
Right off the bat, there’s a bit of a wait. We’ve got practically nothing happening for the first few days – just tiny, weak dribbles with not enough push to get excited about. The real window starts to open on Tuesday morning, August 25th, when things finally start to shape up.
The standout session, no doubt, is on Thursday morning, August 27th. We’ve got a clean 4 ft groundswell from the SSE, with a period of 15 seconds (720 combined energy). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the north, keeping things tidy. This is the pick of the bunch – quality waves with genuine energy. A long period swell like this will line up nicely at this reef break, offering well-shaped, powerful lines. You'll want a bit of experience under your belt, but if you’re on it, you’ll be in for a treat.
Wednesday morning, August 26th, is also worth a mention. You’re looking at a glassy 2 ft swell, but with a very long period of 17 seconds (373 combined energy). That’s a lot of push for a small wave; it’ll feel heavier and more drawn-out than the height suggests. Clean again with a light cross-offshore wind.
After that, the quality drops off quickly. Strong onshores kick in from Friday afternoon, and by the weekend we’re down to tiny, bumpy slop. There’s a long gap of poor to non-existent surf from the end of August all the way through the first week of September. A couple of days in early September show some size, but the wind is all wrong – cross-shore or onshore – and the period drops to a short, weak 6 seconds, making for messy, choppy conditions that are more suited to a kite than a paddle. It’s a flat and frustrating run for the most part.
So, to sum it up: Thursday morning, August 27th is your day. Get it while it's good.
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.
