The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
First off, let me be straight with you: looking at the whole 16-day window for Velzy Land, it’s a bit of a tough stretch. This is a reef break that needs a specific NW swell to really fire, and we just aren't getting it. For the first week and a half, the waves are tiny—mostly 0.7ft to 1ft—and the wind is cranking from the east-northeast at 25 to 28 mph, creating messy, choppy conditions. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when you’re staring at flat lines.
That initial run from Saturday the 15th through the 22nd is a write-off. The combined wave energy is barely registering, mostly between 9 and 67, which is weak to very weak. There’s no power behind anything. It’s just not worth paddling out.
We do see a bit of a shift around Wednesday the 19th. The swell period stretches out to 16 seconds, which is a very long-period groundswell, but it’s only 1ft from the SW and the energy is only 86. That’s a tease. The wind eases to a gentle breeze, but it’s still cross-shore. It looks clean but there’s just no wave to ride.
The standout moment in the entire outlook, and I mean the only one that gets my heart beating, is the morning of Sunday the 30th of August. That’s two weeks out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. We’ve got a 1ft swell from the WNW with a 13-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 103—that’s the first time we see triple digits, indicating moderate wave energy. The wind is a moderate breeze from the east, giving us clean, cross-off conditions. It’s not big, but it’s the best shape and quality we’ll see in this whole run. Since Velzy Land is a reef, that long-period, clean swell could actually wrap in nicely. Just know the crowds are possible here.
Before that, from the 23rd to the 29th, we’re stuck on 0.7ft to 1ft waves and clean but weak conditions. There’s nothing to get excited about. For the vast majority of this forecast, you’re looking at a long gap where there are simply no good recommendations.

A general guide to surfing at Velzy Land can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Velzy Land 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.

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 Velzy Land 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.
