The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Velzyland.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way. Right off the bat, there’s a really nice window on Friday the 17th of July. The early morning is looking choice with 4ft of ESE swell, a period of 11 seconds, and glassy conditions out of the NNW. The water is sitting at 74°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (404), so there’s some push behind it. That’s the standout for the whole outlook – it’s clean, it’s got shape, and it’s a reef break. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Saturday morning the 18th is still worth a paddle. The swell drops to 3ft from the ESE, but with offshore NW wind at 3 mph, it’ll be clean and fun. The energy is lower (254), but the conditions are good.
From Saturday afternoon right through to the end of July, it’s a pretty bleak run. The wind swings onshore, choppy, lumpy, and the swell gets small and weak. There’s a long stretch here with no real recommendations. The mornings are often cross-off and clean, but the swell is too weak or the period too short to get excited about.
Then, on Tuesday the 28th of July, we get another little glimmer. The early morning is glassy again with a WNW wind, 2ft of SSE swell, but the period is a long 14 seconds. The energy is moderate (212). It’s small, but the glassy conditions will make it look a lot better than it is. It’s not a standout, but it’s a window.
The last few days of July and into August pick up a bit of energy. The 31st of July has a 3ft SSE swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is onshore, so it’s messy. The 1st of August morning has clean conditions and 2ft of long-period SSE swell (14 seconds), with strong energy (316), but it’s rightly rated as marginal. The afternoon gets blown out again.
Overall, the best bet is Friday the 17th of July morning. Get on it. Everything else is mostly waiting for the wind to play nice.
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.
