Velzy Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Velzy Land. This is a reef break that’s a real ripper when it’s on, but I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days look pretty grim for a paddle. There’s a massive gap right at the start with nothing worth a mention.

The first glimmer of hope, if you can call it that, shows up on Monday the 13th of July. The swell is tiny, just 2ft from the SW, but the wind is a cross-shore. The combined energy is weak (192), and the report says poor surf conditions. The water temp is a balmy 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so no worries about a cold one.

Tuesday the 14th sees a bump in size with a 5ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short, choppy 7 seconds. The energy jumps to moderate (552), but the cross-shore wind and “marginal surf forecast” notes mean it’s more of a mess than a wave. This one is borderline for beginners due to the size, but with the poor quality, it’s not great for anyone.

Wednesday the 15th offers a bit of hope with a cleaner look. The swell drops to 2ft from the W, but the period is a long 15 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The wind turns cross-offshore, and the energy is moderate (270). The waves will be clean, but that long period will make it break a bit too straight for a beach break. Even so, it’s the best of a bad bunch. The afternoon is similar with rain showers.

The rest of the week from Thursday the 16th through the weekend is a write-off. Tiny swell (0.7ft to 2ft) and weak energy. The wind stays cross-off, keeping things clean, but there’s just no power. The combined energy drops to as low as 57 on Saturday the 18th. You’d be better off chilling.

We hit a total flat spell from Monday the 20th through to Sunday the 26th. Swell heights are near zero, and the energy is in the single digits. It’s a dead period. The wind is moderate to fresh and cross-shore, so if you’re a kiter, that might be your only play.

Finally, on Monday the 27th of July, we see a spike in the data. It’s a 5ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (171). The problem is the wind is cross-shore and the surf conditions are still marked as poor. So it’s the biggest swell of the outlook, but it’s sloppy and short-period. This repeats into Tuesday the 28th.

So, to be honest, there’s no standout session here. The two days nudging on the horizon are Wednesday the 15th for the cleanest, longest-period waves, and Monday the 27th for the biggest, but most ragged swell. For a break that’s usually consistent, this is a rough run. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, I’d wait for the next one.

Rusty.
