Velzy Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good look at the only game in town for this outlook: Velzy Land.

Gonna be honest with you, the next couple of weeks are a real test of patience. We’re looking at a long, dry spell for most of the period. From now, all the way through to the 24th of September, it's pretty much flat or junk. There’s a lot of days in there with tiny swell and messy wind, so don't bother paddling out unless you're just desperate for a float. The water temp is sitting at a warm 80°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're waiting.

Now, the one bright spot that makes all this waiting worthwhile is lining up right at the end. The 25th and 26th of September are where it’s at. We finally see a proper pulse of NW groundswell filling in. Friday the 25th morning will kick off with head-high waves around 4ft, building into the afternoon to a solid 5ft. The swell period is a juicy 14 seconds, so there’s real energy behind it. What's really got me stoked is the wind: it’s looking light offshore from the East, dropping to near glass by Friday arvo. That means clean, lined-up waves at this exposed reef. This is a spot that’s very consistent and takes a clean NW swell beautifully.

Saturday the 26th looks like the peak, with a touch more size at 6ft from the NNW, still with that lovely 13-14 second period and light offshore to glassy conditions. The energy is pumping. This is top-tier stuff for experienced surfers, but that 6ft swell is going to be pushing it for beginners – this is one for the crew that knows what they're doing on a reef. Because it’s a standout for the whole outlook, just be aware that it can get a bit of a crowd here sometimes. It's a promise, not a guarantee this far out, but mark your calendar for the 25th and 26th.

Stay patient, and stay wet.
Rusty.
