The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here again. Let’s be real—this 16-day stretch at Velzyland (Brazil) is mostly a dud. We’ve got a long window of flat, choppy, and generally poor surf, so don’t hold your breath.
Week one starts with a bit of hope on Saturday the 15th—swell around 4ft to 5ft from the SSE with a 14-second period, so there’s some push, but the light rain and onshore breeze keep it from being clean. Water temp is 73°, which is about normal for now. Sunday the 16th falls apart—short period, cross-shore winds, and just messy. Monday’s the same story, with the ENE breeze making it lumpy.
Tuesday the 18th morning is the only semi-decent window early on—north wind giving a clean cross-off and waves around 4ft, but the 7-second period means it’s gutless. After that, it’s a dead zone. From the 19th through the 26th, we’re mostly below 2ft, with weak energy and winds all over the place. Even the glassy morning on the 23rd only shows 1ft—that’s not worth the paddle.
The one bright spot, and I mean the only one, is Thursday the 27th morning. The wind drops to nothing, absolute glass, with a light SW breeze. Swell is just over 3ft from the SSE with an 8-second period, and energy is moderate (130). It’s small, but it’s clean—the first proper surf we’ve seen in over a week. The direction is a bit off the ideal S, so it’ll be softer than we’d like, but on a reef like this, clean and small beats big and messy.
After that, Friday goes choppy again, and we finish with a bigger but crumbly Saturday the 29th—4ft but short-period and cross-off. There’s a serious drought in between, so if you’re keen, mark the 27th and keep your fingers crossed.
Rusty out.

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.
