Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty quiet. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and hardly anything that’ll get the heart pumping. The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn’t show up until Thursday morning, July 9th, and even then, it’s barely a ripple.

So, for the first few days, from Tuesday the 7th through Wednesday the 8th, it’s pretty much a flat spell. Tiny waves, poor conditions, and nothing worth getting wet for. You’re better off waxing your board or checking the tides for next week.

Now, Thursday morning, July 9th, at Vilano Jetty, we finally see a little pulse. We’re looking at surfable waves, but I gotta warn you – they’re very ordinary. The swell is coming from the ESE at 2 ft, with a period of 9 seconds, so it’s a weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy is only a measly 50, so don’t expect any power. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. It’s small, but if you’re desperate, you might find a few grovelly little runners. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The standout, if you can call it that, is actually Sunday afternoon, July 12th. The wind goes glassy from the south at just 3 mph, and the swell bumps up a tiny bit to 2 ft from the ESE at 8 seconds. The combined energy is 53 – still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. The waves will be small and slow, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be clean and uncrowded. It’s a beach/jetty setup, so it’s not going to be a world-class wave, but if you’re a beginner or just want to get wet, this is your window. For a more experienced surfer, it’s pretty underwhelming.

After that, we’re back into a long run of nothing. From Monday the 13th all the way through Wednesday the 22nd, it’s the same story: tiny swell, mostly under 2 ft, and weak energy readings. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, which is nice, but there’s just no wave to work with. The swell period stays around 8-9 seconds, so it’s all short-period, weak windswell. There’s a couple of mornings with glassy conditions, like Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th, but the swell is only 1.0 ft to 1 ft – not enough to surf.

Honestly, this is a tough run. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon sea breezes might give you something, but for paddle surfing, it’s a pretty blank fortnight. The forecast can always change, so don’t lose hope, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
