The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on the horizon for Ventura Point. I’ll level with you – this whole 16-day stretch is looking pretty lackluster. No real standouts to get excited about, but here’s the full picture.
Starting Sunday the 13th, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the west, period around 9 seconds, with a light onshore breeze. Water temp is about average for the season. The combined energy is weak (136), and conditions are poor. That carries through Monday and into Tuesday the 15th – same small ankle-to-knee-high dribble, mostly onshore wind, no real push. Wednesday the 16th gets even smaller, down to 1ft, though we do see a long-period 17-second groundswell from the south-southwest. That long period is promising, but without any height, it’s a no-go. Energy dips into the double digits (87) by Wednesday afternoon.
From Thursday the 17th through the weekend of the 20th, it’s more of the same: 1ft to 2ft, mostly from the southwest, periods ranging from 15 to 19 seconds. Energy stays weak to moderate (108 to 303). Winds are light and mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s never clean. The swell direction is west or southwest, which works for the point, but there’s just not enough size to bother.
Into the second week – Monday the 21st through Monday the 28th – the pattern holds. Swell hangs around 1ft to 2ft, southwest direction, periods slowly dropping from 17 seconds down to 12 seconds. Energy stays in the weak to moderate range (101 to 247). A few mornings show light breeze with onshore wind, but it’s still poor surf conditions across the board. The break is very consistent, so it’s not going totally flat, but the quality is just not there.
Ventura Point is a reef and point setup, good for beginners, and fairly open to west swell. Crowds can be a factor – it’s “often” busy – but with this lack of waves, that won’t be an issue. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
There are no standouts in this outlook. The whole 16 days is a quiet stretch. Keep an eye on it – the consistency is solid, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the board at home.

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.
