The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Velzy Land is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. The first bit of real swell doesn’t show up until Wednesday, August 19th, and even then it’s nothing to write home about.
For the first week, from Wednesday, August 12th, right through until Tuesday, August 18th, it’s flat. The water is a warm 80°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but you’ll be sitting on a glassy lake with winds coming from the ENE. The swell is barely 0.7ft to 1ft with a weak combined energy reading of just 16 (moderate wave energy). The wind is mostly cross-off, but there’s simply no power in the water. We get a little bump on Wednesday, August 19th morning with a 1ft SW groundswell (16 second period), but the energy is still weak at 69. That afternoon, the swell jumps to 3ft from the NE, but with a short, weak period of 6 seconds and energy of 83, it’s just messy and poorly shaped. This is a reef break, so that short-period stuff is just going to be a close-out.
The best chance we see – and I use that term loosely – is on Thursday, August 20th morning. The swell is 2ft from the NE with a 7 second period and energy of 47. The wind is offshore from the E at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s a reef, so it needs a bit more push to get good, and that short period means it’s going to be a bit gutless. The crowds are marked as "sometimes", so you might get a few other die-hards out there.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. From Friday, August 21st through to Thursday, August 27th, it’s a long stretch of 0.7ft to 1ft dribble. The wind stays cross-off from the E or ENE, but the combined energy never gets above 38. The swell direction flips around a bit – NNW, NNE, then back to WNW – but there’s just no size. The very last blip on Thursday, August 27th morning shows a 1ft WNW swell with a 13 second period and energy of 38, but it’s just not enough to make the reef turn on.
So, bottom line: there’s no standout session here. The closest to a rideable wave is that Thursday, August 20th morning, but it’s more of a knee-high hop than a proper surf. Bring a longboard and low expectations, or just give it a miss and wait for the next proper swell.
Rusty.

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.
Velzy Land is 21 km (13 miles) from Wahiawa. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Wahiawa. Wahiawa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
