The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, dry gap ahead. From now, Tuesday the 14th of July, all the way through to Saturday the 25th of July, it’s nothing but tiny, weak surf with poor conditions. You’re looking at ankle-high dribble, mostly around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with wave energy stuck in the low double digits (between 8 and 35). The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy, but with no swell to work with, it doesn’t matter. It’s just flat.
We finally see a flicker of life on Sunday the 26th of July, at Vilano Jetty. The morning brings a small ESE swell around 2 ft, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the south, keeping it clean. Wave energy climbs to 54 (moderate), and it’s described as “surfable but ordinary.” It’s not going to blow your mind, but after more than a week of nothing, you might get a fun little ankle- to knee-high wave. The water temp is average for the time of year.
Monday the 27th of July looks a touch better. The swell holds around 2 ft from the east, with the same 9-second period. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon – dead calm – which is a huge plus. Energy is up to 77 (moderate), and it’s still clean. For a Monday morning session, that’s probably your best bet. It’s still small, but the conditions will be nice.
Later in the week, things get a bit messy. Tuesday the 28th has a tiny 2 ft swell but with cross-onshore wind, so expect chop. Wednesday the 29th is glassy again but only 1 ft.
Honestly, nothing here is a true standout. The best on offer is the Monday the 27th glassy session at Vilano Jetty, but it’s strictly for the longboard or a big foamie. Beginners will be fine with the size, but experts will be bored. Crowds are possible there, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
Stay patient, mates. This run of flatness is a bit of a bummer, but forecasts can always 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.
