The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch. The entire 16-day window is dominated by minimal swell, with wave heights barely pushing past 2 ft on the best days. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting in the 20-86 range—basically, it’s a lake out there. The water temperature is 83°, which is about normal for the time of year, so that’s one thing not to complain about.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Tuesday, August 4th. Even then, it’s not much. On the morning of the 4th, we’ve got a 3 ft swell from the ESE at a short 6 seconds, but the winds go glassy, which is a massive plus. The combined energy finally hits 86, which is still weak but the best we’ll see. That morning is really the only time in the whole forecast that’s even worth paddling out for, if you’re desperate. After that, it’s back to tiny, choppy nothingness.
The rest of the run is a total write-off. After the 4th, we’re stuck with waist-high or smaller waves for the next week and a half, all with short periods and mostly cross or onshore winds. There’s a few mornings with glassy conditions, but on 1 ft to 2 ft swell, it’s just not going to give you a ride.
So, the standout here is Vilano Jetty. It’s the only break we’ve got data for, and it’s a beach/jetty setup. It’s fairly consistent, but not with any size. On the morning of Tuesday, August 4th, despite the tiny energy, the glassy wind and that 3 ft ESE swell might just offer a weak, clean little wave for a longboard. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’s the only window in the whole 16 days where you won’t be fighting chop. Expect crowds sometimes, but given the lack of swell, it’ll probably be quiet.
For the rest of the time, unless you’re into kite surfing, save your energy. The wind is up and the waves are down. It’s a long flat spell, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Rusty.

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.
