Alright, folks, Rusty here. I've had a good look at the next 16 days for Vilano Jetty, and I gotta be straight with you – there's nothing worth paddling out for. The whole stretch from Sunday, July 5th, right through to Monday, July 20th, is a total write-off. Every single session is tagged as "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero. That's a solid 16-day shutout.
Now, that's a bit of a surprise because this spot is usually fairly consistent. But when it does go flat, it can stay quiet for a while. Still, I wouldn't lose hope – forecasts can flip, and it rarely stays this poor for long.
What's going on? The swell is tiny – mostly 0.7 ft to 3 ft from the ESE, with a short period of 7 to 9 seconds. That's weak, wind-swell energy, with combined energy readings barely cracking 100 (the highest is 101 on Thursday afternoon, July 9th, but even that's weak). The water temp is sitting at 85°F, which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year – a notable little anomaly, but not extreme.
The wind does offer some clean windows, especially mornings: you'll see glassy conditions on Friday July 10th, Saturday July 11th, and Sunday July 12th, with light offshore or glassy wind. But with waves only about 1 ft, it's barely a ripple. Even the afternoon seabreezes kick up a cross-shore chop, and the bigger swells never arrive. The jetty setup might straighten out a longer-period swell, but we don't have any – it's all short-period junk.
Bottom line: save your energy. There's nothing here for a paddle surfer. If you're a kiter, maybe those afternoon cross-shore breezes and small waves could be fun, but for a surfboard, it's a no-go. Keep an eye on the charts – things can change.
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.
