Velzy Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Velzy Land.

To be straight with you, looking at the next 16 days, it's a pretty grim stretch. There's a massive gap right at the start. You’re looking at nearly a week of nothing worth paddling out for. From Tuesday the 21st of July right through to the 30th, the data just shows flat spells and poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly a problem, blowing cross or cross-off at 12 to 19 mph, which is just killing any chance of a clean wave. On Thursday the 23rd, there's a tiny 0.7ft swell from the NNW with a short period, but the energy is only 9 – it's a non-event.

The only real glimmer of hope – and I’m using that term loosely – comes on Thursday the 30th of July. The morning is still dead, but by Thursday afternoon, we finally see a little pulse. There’s a 1ft swell from the WSW with a very long period of 12 seconds. The wind backs off to a light breeze at 6 mph and it's a cross-off, cleaning things up. The combined energy is a weak 45 (45), but it's the only time in the whole window where the conditions are labeled "surfable" rather than "poor." The water temp is about 79°, which is normal for this time of year. This is a very small, long-period groundswell, which at a reef break like Velzy Land could actually produce a few clean, lined-up waves, even if they're tiny. For a desperate surfer, this is the best on offer, but don't expect much.

After that, it's back to the doldrums. The 31st of July shows a 4ft pulse from the NE with a short period of 8 seconds and moderate energy of 312 (312), but the wind is 16 mph cross-off, which means it’s blown out. The first week of August is just a slow decline into tiny, weak, and messy waves. There’s nothing else to get excited about.

So, the standout – and I mean the only one – is that Thursday afternoon, the 30th of July. The swell is tiny, the energy is low, but with the light wind and long period, it’s the cleanest we’ll see. Keep your expectations on the floor, but it might just be worth a look if you're desperate for a splash.

Rusty.
