The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – looking out over the next couple of weeks, it's a tough watch. This stretch is about as flat and forgettable as it gets for Vilano Jetty. We're looking at a solid 16-day run where the surf just doesn't show up. Nothing is on offer right now, and the data shows a long, long gap of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. Usually around here, when it goes this quiet, you just have to wait for a change in the pattern, but right now there's nothing on the horizon.
Kicking off from Thursday, the 30th of July, we've got some tiny swell from the SE at 2ft with a period of only 3 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 6, which is basically nothing. You'll be bobbing around with a bit of cross-off wind, but it's not worth suiting up for.
That sets the tone. Through the rest of July and all of August, it's the same story. Wave heights are stuck between 0.3ft and 3ft, mostly coming from the ESE. The period is almost always weak, rarely getting above 8 seconds. The combined energy stays in the weak range, the highest we see is 43. Even on the rare moments we get glassy conditions or a light offshore wind, like on Saturday the 8th of August morning with a glassy 0.98ft from the ESE, or Sunday the 9th of August morning with a glassy 0.98ft from the E, the swell just isn't there to push anything rideable. The water temp sits at about 83° which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Bottom line, there's no standout day anywhere in this forecast. The waves are too small, the energy too weak. It's one of those blank runs where the sandbars might be interesting for a paddle, but for a surf? It's a no-go. If you're desperate for a splash, maybe check it on the higher tides with a longboard, but don't expect a wave.

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.
