Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for Velzyland.
Honestly, the next 16 days start off pretty flat and frustrating. The first few days are a write-off with messy, short-period windswell and strong cross-shore winds. It’s not until the middle of the week that we finally see some life.
Thursday 16th July is the standout. We’ve got a clean, glassy morning with a 5ft swell from the southeast, and the period stretches to 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate at 515, and with the wind glassy, the reef will be looking smooth. This is the best on offer, no question. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about average for the time of year.
Friday 17th July morning also looks good. The swell has dropped a touch to 5ft from the southeast, still 11 seconds, but the wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNW, keeping it clean. The combined energy is a solid 780, which is moderate to strong. Expect some punchy, lined-up waves.
After that, the weekend and the following week drop off significantly. The swell gets smaller, the period shortens, and the winds turn onshore again. From Sunday 19th July right through to the end of the outlook, it’s mostly small, weak, and choppy. There are a few mornings with clean conditions and tiny 3ft to 4ft waves, but it’s very ordinary. The crowd factor at Velzyland is sometimes an issue, but honestly, with the lack of quality surf, it shouldn’t be too busy.
The energy drops right off into the 100s and even below 100 by the end, with periods as short as 7 seconds. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions.
So, to wrap it up: Thursday morning and Friday morning are the only real windows. Everything else is a flat, windy mess. Don’t hold your breath for the second week.
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.
