Velzy Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell to kick things off. From now until the morning of the 15th of September, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the conditions are just not cooperating. You’ll see a few tiny pulses here and there, but nothing that’s going to get you out of bed. We’re looking at about six days of slim pickings before things start to look half-interesting.

The first real glimmer of hope is on the morning of Tuesday the 15th. Velzy Land is due for a pulse of 2ft swell from the southwest. Now, the size is small, but what’s interesting is the period is a very long 20 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (248). The wind is light and variable from the NE, keeping things clean. The catch is this spot is a reef, so with that long period, it might hold up nicely, but it’s also rated for advanced surfers, so keep that in mind. On the morning of Wednesday the 16th, we see a similar setup: 2ft from the southwest with a long 18-second period, light east winds, and clean conditions. Again, the energy is moderate (225). This is still small, but it's the cleanest and most promising window we’ve got.

For the rest of the run, through to the end of the forecast on the 24th, it’s mostly small and messy. The winds tend to be up, the swell is short-period, and the quality is poor. There are no real standout sessions in that second week. Water temperature is sitting at a comfortable 80° and that’s about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, keep an eye on that Tuesday morning the 15th and Wednesday morning the 16th. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got.

Rusty.
