Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – for this stretch, we’re looking at a long, quiet run. The patterns are telling me there’s not much to get excited about for a good stretch of days. First real chance of anything rideable doesn't come up until Saturday the 25th of July, so we’re talking almost two weeks of flat to tiny, messy conditions at Vilano Jetty.
From this Friday the 10th right through to Friday the 24th, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Swell heights are barely a ripple, mostly in the 1 ft to 2 ft range, and the energy is weak. Winds are all over the place – onshore, cross, glassy at times – but with that tiny swell, even glassy mornings on the 13th and 17th won’t give you a wave worth paddling for. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s average.
Now, if you’re desperate and patient, the first flicker of something happens on Saturday the 25th of July. In the afternoon, we finally see a little push: 3 ft of swell coming from the ESE, with a short period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy hits 53, so it’s still on the weak side. But the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the SSE, so the surface cleans right up. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The jetty itself is exposed to the NNE, so this ESE swell is not going to wrap in with any punch. It’ll be small, weak, and pretty frustrating.
Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the setup on some of those breezier afternoons like the 11th and the 18th might be more interesting than what we’ve got for paddle surfing. For the rest of us, it’s a long wait till the end of the month, and even then, keep expectations on the floor.
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.
