Velzy Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell you how it's looking for the next couple of weeks.

First up, I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run of surf for a while. The first solid recommendation we get isn’t until Tuesday, July 14th, so you’re looking at a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. We see some waves around the 12th and 13th, but with a cross-shore wind howling at 19 mph and lumpy chop, it’s just not happening. Those are days to leave the boards in the car.

The only real standout that catches my eye is at Velzy Land on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 14th. Sure, the swell is coming from the NE at about 5 ft and the period is short, only 8 seconds—so it’ll be a bit quick and choppy—but the wave energy hits a moderate 527 (moderate combined energy). Winds are cross from the ENE at 16 mph, which isn't magic, but it's not total rubbish either. This is more of a last resort than a proper highlight, but it’s the most we’ve got on offer in the first week. For the rest of the week, the swell drops and the wind keeps blowing cross, so don’t get your hopes up.

Water temp is average for the time of year—no big anomalies, so just a normal wetsuit thickness will do.

The second week is looking even more bleak. From July 18th through to the 26th, the swell energy drops right off. A lot of days show no swell at all, or tiny waves of less than 1 ft. The wind stays cross or cross-off, mostly from the ENE or E at 9-19 mph, but there's barely a wave to make it worthwhile. The best you'll see is the morning of July 26th with a tiny 1 ft SW swell and a gentle breeze, but I'm sorry, that's not worth changing your plans for. This is a serious flat spell.

So in short, there's one barely passable window on July 14th, and then it’s a whole lot of nothing. Conditions stay poor throughout. Keep an eye on the forecasts, they can change, but right now it's a tough run.

Rusty.
