The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
To be honest mate, the next couple of weeks at Velzy Land are looking pretty grim. This is a solid reef break that handles swell from the NW and it’s exposed, but the wave energy is just not showing up for us. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t roll around until Friday the 21st of August, so we’re looking at a solid week of flat to tiny, messy conditions before then.
Right now, through the 14th and into the 20th, it’s a story of poor surf. Tiny waves, mostly around 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft, with onshore or cross-shore winds that are too strong to let anything clean up. The combined swell energy is very weak, often in the single digits or teens (8 to 72). It's not worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
On Friday morning the 21st of August, things finally tick up a notch. We’re looking at a 3 ft swell from the NNE with a short period of 6 seconds and light easterly breezes. The combined energy hits 71, which is still weak but at least there’s some shape. Conditions are “surfable but very ordinary.” This is your best bet across the whole window, but keep expectations low.
After that, it drops back into the doldrums. Saturday the 22nd through to Saturday the 29th offers next to nothing – tiny 0.7 ft to 1 ft swells, mostly from the WSW or W, with very low energy (7 to 68). Winds are mostly light to moderate offshores or cross-offshores, so at least it'll look clean, but there just isn't any push.
The one stand-out in this entire 16-day window is Velzy Land on Friday the 21st. For this break, you need NW swell, and we’ve got a NNE pulse coming through. It’s not perfect, but with light offshore flow and some energy, it’s the only real window to get wet. The best session looks like Friday morning.
There’s a long gap before that, from now until the 21st, with absolutely nothing worthwhile. And after the 21st, it’s right back to near-flat conditions. This is a tough run for a reef that normally needs more juice.
Stay hopeful though. Forecasts change. But as it sits, this is a stretch of water you’d only bother with if you’re desperate or just want a paddle.

Information about the Velzy Land Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Velzy Land provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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. If you surf the same spot (Velzy Land) 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 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.
