The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
It’s a bummer of a forecast for Vilano Jetty over the next 16 days. The surf is flat and weak, with a heap of cross-on winds that will keep things messy. Water temp is about 83°, which is dead average for this time of year.
The first chance to get wet is Thursday morning, August 27th, but it’s tiny. We’re looking at a 1-foot east swell with a 9-second period and just 20 units of combined energy. A light cross-off breeze keeps it clean, but there’s nothing to push you. Friday morning the 28th offers a 1-foot east swell with a light offshore wind from the SW at 3 mph, but only 28 energy. It’s clean, but barely a ripple. Saturday morning the 29th goes glassy with a 1-foot east swell, but it’s still too small.
The whole first week is a grind. The swell never tops 3 feet, and most days you’ve got light cross-on breezes or moderate afternoon chop. The combined energy doesn’t hit 100 until Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd, with a 2-foot east swell and an 11-second period at 112 energy. That long period is promising, but the onshore wind and chop will wreck it.
Week two is more of the same. From September 4th through the 11th, it’s tiny 0.7-foot to 2-foot swells from the east-southeast, with combined energy barely hitting 90. A couple of glassy mornings pop up, like Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th, but the swell is a pathetic 1 feet and 0.7 feet — you’d be floating, not surfing. Monday the 7th has a 2-foot northeast swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but it’s still too small to bother.
There’s no standout session here. It’s flat, weak, and windy. Looks like a good week to take the kite out or just enjoy the beach. Stay patient.
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.
