The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again, same deal but in good ol' imperial. Vilano Jetty is the only break in the picture, and honestly, it's pretty bleak. The swell is tiny, mostly from the east and east-southeast, while the jetty prefers a north-northeast angle. The combined wave energy is pathetic – under 100 most days, sometimes as low as 7.
We've got a big gap from now until July 24 with no surf worth mentioning. Then on Saturday, July 25, the morning offers a sliver of hope. A light offshore breeze from the southwest at 3 mph keeps the water glassy, and the swell is a knee-high 2 ft out of the east, with an 8-second period. The energy is a modest 55, but at least it's rideable and clean. Crowds can show up at Vilano, so be ready for company.
After that morning, it's back to the same old story – flat, choppy, or blown out. The afternoons on July 25 and beyond are poor, with stronger winds and lumpy conditions. Even the glassy mornings later on (like July 26 and 27) have swell under 2 ft and energy in the 30–40 range. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Bottom line: one morning on July 25 is your best bet, otherwise the next 16 days are a write-off. Keep an eye on the horizon, but don't hold your breath.

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