The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be real about the next couple of weeks. It’s a brutal stretch of flatness. The first wave that’s even worth a look doesn’t show up until Tuesday, August 18th, so you’re looking at a solid ten-day dry spell. Before that, the swell is ankle-high and the wind is all wrong, just choppy and messy.
The first half-decent window is the morning of Tuesday the 18th at Vilano Jetty. We’re talking a 2ft east swell with a 10-second period. The wind is light and clean, so it’ll look okay. The combined energy is a weak 56 (combined energy of all swells directed here), so don’t expect any push. It’s just barely surfable.
Then on Thursday the 20th morning, you get a little more period—11 seconds from the east with 2ft waves. It’s glassy, and the combined energy is 92 (combined energy of all swells directed here). Still small, but clean. It’s a chance to get out.
The pick of the whole 16-day run is the morning of Sunday the 23rd. Vilano Jetty will be glassy with a 2ft east swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy hits 100 (combined energy of all swells directed here), the highest we’ll see. It’s still tiny, but if you’re itching, that’s the morning to wake up early.
That’s it. The 18th and the 23rd are your only real shots. Everything else is a total write-off. Just a classic summer flat spell. Forecasts can change, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
