Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the skinny on Vilano Jetty in feet and miles.
It’s a pretty bleak outlook right now. We’re staring down a long stretch of ankle-biters and weak energy. The combined energy is mostly in the double digits (weak), with only a couple of afternoons scraping into the low 100s, but the wind is always messing it up.
The best you’ll get is early mornings when the wind goes light or offshore. Like on Monday the 6th of July or Sunday the 5th, you might get a clean, glassy surface with a light wind, but the swell is only about 1ft from the ESE. It’s a longboard-and-no-ambition kind of morning.
Don’t hold your breath for the week of the 12th either. It stays tiny, around 1ft. The water temperature is average for the season.
There is no real standout session here. No big swell, no clean power. This is a classic dead spell for the jetty, where the afternoon seabreezes just make a mess. Honestly, the cross-shore winds in the afternoons look way more interesting for kite surfing than for a paddle. Every session in the forecast is rated as poor, so we’re talking a full two-week lull.
It’s a tough one. The forecasts can change, but right now? I’d find something else to do.

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.
