G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day window for Velzyland is a mixed bag with a whole lot of waiting involved. The first real surf shows up on Wednesday, July 8th, but honestly, it’s a frustrating start. We’ve got a 6ft swell rolling in from the SSE, but that cross-on southerly wind at 12 mph has it all chopped up and messy. The combined energy is a hefty 1108, so there’s plenty of power, but the conditions are just poor. Water temp is sitting at 75°, which is spot on average for this time of year.
The rest of the first week is a grind. Thursday and Friday see the swell drop to 4ft, with periods stretching out to 11 and 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, but it’s mostly cross or cross-on winds keeping things marginal or flat-out poor. Saturday morning, July 11th, is the first real standout. The wind goes glassy, absolutely dead calm, with a 4ft swell from the ESE at a lovely 13-second period. That’s going to be clean and lined up, the best of the early run. The wave energy is moderate at 456. Sunday morning, July 12th, also looks clean with a light north wind and 3ft swell from the SE, but it’s a bit smaller.
After that, it’s a long, dry spell. From Monday, July 13th, right through to the end of the third week, it’s mostly small, weak, and windy. The swell drops to 3ft or 4ft, periods are short and lumpy, and the winds are all over the shop – cross, cross-on, and onshore. The combined energy values are mostly in the 100–300 range, which is weak to moderate. There’s a brief glimmer on Thursday morning, July 16th, with a clean 4ft ESE swell and a light north wind, but it’s not quite enough to get excited about.
Then, on Wednesday morning, July 22nd, we get another proper highlight. The wind is glassy again, light out of the SSW, with a 4ft swell from the east at 8 seconds. That’s a short period, but the glassy conditions will make it rideable. The combined energy is 210 – moderate. It’s a decent morning before the winds shift back onshore in the afternoon.
So, overall, the standout mornings are Saturday, July 11th, and Wednesday, July 22nd, for the glassy conditions. The rest of the period is mostly small, messy, or not worth paddling out for. It’s a classic case of picking your windows and being patient. The consistency is pretty low, so don’t expect a lot of waves. That’s normal for this area. If the wind stays onshore, the setup might be better for kite surfing than a paddle.
Stay salty,
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.
