Table - best surf conditions forecast for Vilano Jetty over the next 16 days.
Okay, let’s run it down in feet and Fahrenheit for those who think that way. Vilano Jetty is dead flat through the whole 16 days. Tiny swells barely reaching 1ft to 3ft, all from the ESE with short periods around 8–9 seconds. Combined wave energy is weak – mostly double-digit numbers, nothing to write home about. Water temp is 85°, which is a touch warmer than average for July. Wind can be light offshore or glassy some mornings, like Wednesday July 9th morning with glassy conditions and a 1ft ESE swell, or Friday July 10th morning glassy with 1ft. But that’s not surf – it’s a lake. Afternoons get a sea breeze that messes it up.
Second week stays small – same story: tiny pulses, periods dropping to 3–5 seconds, energy in the teens. A few clean mornings with light offshores, but the swell is laughable. Saturday July 18th morning has 0.7ft with cross-off wind.
No standouts, no decent waves anywhere. Vilano Jetty can fire when a proper swell hits, but this is a long flat spell. Don’t bother paddling out – it’s a kite-surfing setup right now if anything. Patience.

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.
