Velzy Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the latest scoop for Velzy Land.

Right off the bat, I gotta say it: this is a tough stretch. For the next week and a half, we’re looking at a whole lotta nothing. Don’t get your hopes up. There's a real dry spell here, from now all the way through to the morning of September 25th. That’s like 12 days of basically no surf worth paddling out for. The swell energy is mostly in the doldrums, with readings all below 100 – often just single or low double digits – which is a dead giveaway of a flat spell.

Now, here's a small flicker. On Tuesday morning, September 15th, there’s a pulse of energy showing up – the combined energy clocks in at 239, which is moderate. Swell is a tiny 2 ft but from the southwest with a period of 20 seconds. That’s a super long period groundswell. That could wrap in weird, and on a reef setup it might offer a few clean lines, especially with clean, cross-off wind. But at 2 ft, it’s for the guys who can read a ripple.

The water temp is sitting at 80°F with no anomaly, so it’s pretty average for this time of year. Nothing weird there.

Then it gets ugly again for another big gap. The numbers stay weak: 4, 8, 10, 15… just sad.

Finally, the end of the month starts to rumble. Starting Friday, September 25th, something wakes up. The swell energy jumps into the strong range – 476 in the morning, and 602 in the afternoon. That’s proper energy. Swell size is 2 ft to 3 ft from the west-northwest with periods of 20-22 seconds. That is a serious, long-period groundswell. That kind of period on a reef? The potential is there for some real juice and good shape.

But – and it’s a big but – the wind is a problem. It’s a cranking easterly breeze at 15-19 mph blowing cross-shore. The notes say "fresh cross-shore with lumpy cross-chop." That’s gonna put a chop on the face and make it a battle. This isn't a beginner’s day, but for experienced surfers at Velzy Land, it could be the best session in this whole 16-day window. It’s definitely the standout, even with the wind.

The final few days (September 27th-28th) drop off again with the wind easing and energy fading.

So, if you're keen, mark your calendar for Friday, September 25th. That's the only real window. The rest is a classic early-autumn flat spell for this spot.

Rusty.
