Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ at Ventura Point. Gotta be straight with you – this one’s a tough pill to swallow.
We’re looking at a long, flat stretch ahead. There is no surf worth paddling out for in the entire 16-day window. Every single session flagged is “poor surf conditions,” and the wave heights barely tickle the 3 ft. The combined swell energy tops out at a moderate 414 on the Wednesday morning of July 8th, but that’s still hooked to a tiny 2 ft wave and it’s all coming from the SSW with a cross-onshore wind. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but honestly, you won’t be in the water long enough to notice.
For the first week, through to July 12th, the swell is weak and onshore. Winds flip between cross and cross-onshore, and those 1 ft to 2 ft waves with periods around 16 to 18 seconds are just not doing anything. That’s a lot of period for nothing to show for it – the energy is there (moderate combined energy values between 122 and 414), but it’s not translating into a rideable wave.
Into the second week, things don’t change. From July 14th onward, the swell drops even shorter (8 to 9 seconds at times), and we’re still stuck in that 1 ft to 3 ft range. The combined energy dips back down into weak two-digit territory (85 on July 20th), which tells you the ocean is basically asleep. The wind is a mix of light and moderate breezes, but always coming across the face.
There’s no standout here. No hidden gem. Just a lot of flat, choppy, or clean but tiny conditions. This is one of those stretches where you leave the board in the car and grab a coffee. If you’re a kite surfer, maybe you could get something out of the choppier afternoons, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
Stay patient, gang. It won’t stay poor forever.

Information about the Ventura Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ventura Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ventura Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ventura Point 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 (Ventura Point) 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 Ventura Point 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.
