Velzy Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast for Velzy Land is a tough one to write. We’re looking at a solid wall of nothing for days on end, so don’t get your hopes up too early.

Right off the bat, from July 6th through the 11th, it’s flat. We’re talking tiny dribbles, with swell heights barely hitting 1 foot and wave energy that’s just pathetic (10 to 37). The wind is howling from the ENE at 19 to 22 mph, putting a nasty lumpy cross-chop on anything that moves. Not worth paddling out for.

We finally see a pulse of energy arrive on Sunday the 12th, but it's a messy one. The morning shows a 7 ft swell from the NE with a short, weak 8-second period, stirring up a lot of water – the combined energy jumps to (664) – but the wind is still a fresh cross-shore breeze. That’s big and sloppy, probably more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle-in session, and it’s only for experts if you’re crazy enough to try. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a 2 ft SW groundswell (16-second period) and cross-off shore wind, but it’s still not what you’d call good.

The best chance we get, and I mean the only real highlight, rolls in on Tuesday the 14th. The morning session shows a 2 ft swell from the West with a very long 19-second period. That’s groundswell, with real push. The wind is from the East at 16 mph, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The wave energy is solid (406), and the conditions will be clean. It won’t be huge, but for this stretch, that’s the standout. After that, it’s a slow fade back into tiny, weak surf with lumpy cross-chop for the rest of the two weeks.

So, to boil it down: you’ve got a full week of flatness, one day of potentially interesting but messy swell, and then one solid morning on the 14th. After that, it’s back to small stuff. Hang in there.

Rusty.
