Victoria Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Victoria Bay. This is a reef and point set-up, very consistent, exposed to the swell, and it loves a good S direction. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.

The next few days are a mixed bag, but there are some moments that will get the heart pumping. Sunday the 13th starts off with a 7ft SSW groundswell, period a juicy 15 seconds, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect. The combined energy is strong at 2800, so there’s plenty of power, but the conditions are just marginal. Sunday afternoon drops off a bit with a 10ft ESE windswell, short period of 9 seconds, and a stronger cross-onshore – that’s going to be choppy and not worth the paddle.

Monday the 14th looks average in the morning with a 8ft ESE swell and a cross-shore wind, but the afternoon is where it gets interesting. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell is 7ft from the ESE with a 10-second period. Combined energy is 1215, so moderate, but the glassy conditions make it excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a standout session if you can get out there.

Tuesday the 15th keeps the good vibes going with a clean 5ft E swell in the morning, 11-second period, glassy wind, and energy at 816. It’s a smaller day but very good conditions. The afternoon turns onshore and a bit messy, so make the most of the morning.

Then things go a bit sour. Wednesday the 16th is a write-off with a 8ft SW swell and a strong 35 km/h cross-onshore – that’s poor, lumpy, and not for paddling. Thursday and Friday are mostly marginal with onshore winds and smaller swells, nothing to get excited about. The energy drops right down.

Saturday the 19th has a small 4ft SW swell in the morning with light cross-onshore, but the afternoon brings a 8ft ESE windswell, short 8-second period, and a moderate cross-onshore – choppy and messy, energy at 1629 but not clean.

Now, Sunday the 20th is another real standout. The morning is glassy, with a 7ft ESE swell, 9-second period, and combined energy of 1209. That’s excellent conditions for experienced surfers, clean and punchy. Get on it.

Monday the 21st has a marginal morning, but the afternoon turns glassy again with a 5ft SW groundswell, 14-second period, and energy at 1519. That’s another excellent session, with long-period lines wrapping into the point.

After that, it’s a slow decline. The rest of the week into the 27th and 28th has some moderate swells but mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. The 28th Monday morning looks promising again with a 8ft SW swell, 10-second period, glassy wind, and energy at 1529 – excellent for experienced surfers.

So, the best on offer is Monday afternoon the 14th with that glassy 7ft ESE swell, and Sunday morning the 20th with another glassy 7ft ESE swell. Those are the two you want to circle. The rest is mostly average, with a few clean windows but nothing that screams perfection.

Rusty.
