Velzy Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mate, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Velzy Land over the next 16 days. It’s a tough outlook, so I’ll be straight with you.

Starting now, through the first week, from Sunday the 16th up until the morning of Friday the 21st, the swell is pathetic. We’re talking 0.7ft to 1ft max, with short periods under 13 seconds, and poor conditions thanks to moderate cross-off or cross winds. The combined wave energy is mostly weak, barely making it past 44. Honestly, it’s a write-off – don’t bother looking at the water. The water temp is about 80°, totally normal for this time of year – nothing to whinge about.

Then on Friday the 21st morning, things perk up just a little. Swell hits 3ft from the NNE with a short 7-second period, but the wind goes light and cross-off from the east, making for clean little waves. The energy is still low at 61, and it scores as “surfable but very ordinary” – a 1 out of 10. If you’re dying for a paddle, you might get some knee-high sliders. But don’t get excited.

From Saturday the 22nd, it’s back to the doldrums. Days and days of 0.7ft to 1ft, poor conditions, cross-off and cross winds – a massive dry spell. Not a single recommendation.

But hang on. Sunday the 30th afternoon throws a curveball – a 5ft swell from the NE with a 10-second period, and the combined energy rockets to 416 – that’s strong. Problem is, the wind is cross-shore from the ENE at 25 km/h, creating lumpy, messy surf. That’s more for the kite crew than a clean paddle session.

And then Monday the 31st, the swell drops to 2ft, but the period jumps to a dreamy 17 seconds – groundswell that’ll have real grunt. Energy stays strong at 403-423. But again, the wind is a fresh cross breeze at 30 km/h from the ENE, making the surface lumpy and choppy. Great power, poor finish. Velzy Land’s an advanced reef, so those long period groundswells would be brilliant with the right wind, but this isn’t it.

The standout in this whole forecast? It’s a real quiet one. That Friday the 21st has the cleanest conditions, even if the swell’s small. For a bigger, more powerful wave, look at the 31st – the 17-second groundswell has quality, but the chop will drive you mad. It’s a promise with a big question mark this far out.

Overall, it’s a poor stretch for Velzy Land. Blank spells like these happen, so don’t lose hope – forecasts can always change.
