The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, checkin’ in from the North Shore. Honestly, the next 16 days are lookin’ pretty average for Velzyland. We’ve got a real slow start, with a six-day stretch from Thursday the 20th through to Tuesday the 25th where there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The first decent chance doesn’t roll in until Monday the 24th, and even then it’s only small glassy waves around 1ft from the SSE. The water’s sittin’ at 73°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout window is shaping up for Tuesday the 25th morning. The wind’s a dead calm glass-off out of the north, and we’ve got a solid 3ft SSE groundswell with a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is moderate (399), so there’s some decent push behind it. That long period’ll wrap nicely into the reef, and with clean conditions, it’s the best on offer. But word of warning – this break can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.
Thursday the 27th morning is another one to pencil in. We’re lookin’ at 4ft from the SE with a 16-second period again, and that NNW cross-off breeze keeps it glassy. The energy’s up to 605 (moderate), so it’s got some grunt. That’s the pick of the second week, though it’s a bit further out so keep an eye on it.
Not much else to get excited about – the rest of the period is a mix of onshore slop, short-period windswell, or just flat. A few sessions late in the run, like Wednesday the 2nd of September, have a 5ft SSE swell but the cross-shore wind and short 7-second period make it messy. For a reef break, that’s more of a kite-surfing day than a proper paddle session.
So, Tuesday the 25th and Thursday the 27th are your tickets. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.
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.
