The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and let me tell you how it’s looking over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly mate, it’s a tough stretch coming up. We’re looking at a pretty flat spell for the foreseeable future. The swell energy is just too weak to get excited about, with combined energy values mostly in the double digits – barely a whisper from the ocean. Wind directions chop and change, but the wave heights just hover around a tiny 1 ft to 3 ft for days on end. You’ll be waiting a long time for anything rideable, and the forecasts keep saying "poor surf conditions" right through the first week and beyond.
The only glimmer I can see is way out on Thursday the 6th of August. It’s not much, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. In the morning, Vilano Jetty should see a tiny 3 ft swell from the ESE (around 7 seconds period) with glassy conditions. That’s a rare moment of calm, and the wave comment finally says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Combined energy nudges up to 89, which is still weak, but it’s the only session with a pulse. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 83°, nothing unusual there.
Other than that morning, it’s a sea of zeros and small, messy wind-affected dribble. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Thursday morning is your one and only look-in, but don’t expect much. For the rest of the 16 days, the beach-and-jetty setup here is honestly more interesting for a kite than a paddle, given the persistent cross-shore winds and weak, short-period swell.
That’s the reality. The ocean’s got nothing to say for itself right now.

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.
