Velzy Land Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Velzy Land this fortnight. Bit of a slow start, but we’ve got a couple of windows that are worth getting excited about.

Right now, there's nothing doing. We’re looking at a solid stretch of poor surf through the first few days, with only tiny, weak pulses and a cross-shore wind messing things up. The water’s sitting at a warm 80°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Tuesday, the 8th. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds, and a cross-off breeze from the SSW. That’s not a world-beater, but it’s a proper step up from the flat spell. The combined energy hit 456 (moderate), so there’s some weight behind it. The wind is clean, so the lineup should look decent. It’s a marginal call, but for a break that’s been dead quiet, this is the first one to pencil in. It’s a reef break, and it’s advanced and very consistent, so you’ll need your wits about you. Crowds are a possibility here, so keep an eye out.

We get another small window on the morning of Wednesday, the 9th, with a 4ft NW swell, period of 10 seconds, and clean cross-off easterly winds. The energy’s down to 240 (moderate), but it’s still a clean, surfable wave for those who know the break.

Now, the real standout for the whole outlook is on the morning of Thursday, the 17th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and less powerful. However, the combined energy is 215 (moderate), and the wind is clean from the ENE. Still, a 5ft NE swell with a cross-off breeze is a whole lot better than nothing. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the biggest and most consistent-looking swell in the second week.

The following morning, Friday the 18th, pushes up to 5ft from the NE, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 418 (moderate), and the wind stays clean. This is another day to be on it. At 5ft, it’s getting a bit meaty for beginners, but it’s a good size for the experienced crew.

For a few days around the 14th, we get glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny, so it’s just a flat, pretty day. The long-range stuff on the 16th and 17th is promising, but they’re a week and a half away, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

So, to wrap it up: the first real chance is Tuesday the 8th, with a clean 4ft WNW swell. The best on offer is the window around Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, with a building 5ft to 5ft NE swell and clean winds. That’s your pick of the fortnight.

Rusty.
