The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. This is a tough one to call, but I gotta be straight with you. The next 16 days at Vilano Jetty are a total flat spell. The swell we've got is tiny, pathetic, and coming from the east-southeast with a short period. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 26 for the first days, and it just gets weaker. We're looking at swell heights of 1ft to 2ft, and that's being generous. The water is a warm 84°, which is normal for the season, but that's the only good news.
For the first week, from Thursday the 23rd through the end of July, every day is stamped as poor surf. The wind is mostly cross or blowing onshore, with a few clean windows on Sunday the 26th morning and Monday the 27th morning when the breeze goes offshore from the west. But those windows are wasted on tiny, knee-high slop. The combined energy on those cleaner moments is still only 30 and 21, which tells you it's not worth a second look. Saturday the 25th morning is glassy, but the swell is a non-starter.
The second week from the 1st of August is more of the same. We're stuck with little 1.0ft to 1ft waves. The wind does turn more offshore from the west-southwest, but the swell is just too small to push any shape. The combined energy is mostly under 25, which is dead weak. The morning of the 4th of August is dead flat and glassy, but there's nothing to ride. Poor conditions drag all the way to the end of the forecast on the 7th of August.
For a jetty and beach setup, there's just no juice. This is a total blank run of poor surf, and it's kind of normal for the area when the swell goes quiet. There are no standouts, no days to chase. The best bet is to just wait for the next swell to show up.
Rusty.

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.
