Table - best surf conditions forecast for Vilano Jetty over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for the region is a tough one. There's a long gap of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for from now through to around the middle of the month. The first sniff of anything surfable doesn't show up until Wednesday, July 15th, and even then it's barely a whisper.
Forget about the first week of July. From Thursday the 9th through Tuesday the 14th, the swell is tiny – mostly 0.3ft to 1ft – coming from the ESE with a short period around 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak (under 30). It's all labelled "poor surf conditions." Wind is a mix of cross and cross-off, with a couple of glassy mornings on Sunday the 12th and Tuesday the 14th, but there's simply no wave to ride. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
Then we get a tiny blip. Wednesday morning, July 15th, at Vilano Jetty. The swell bumps up slightly to 1ft from the ESE, period 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits 56 – still weak, but it's the most energy we'll see. The key here is the wind: a glassy NNW at 6 mph. That's about as clean as it gets. The forecast calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." And that's the truth. For a skilled longboarder on a summer morning, there might be a few knee-high runners. It's inconsistent and fairly consistent, so don't expect a session. You'll likely have company as crowds are sometimes an issue here.
After that, it's back to the same old story. From Thursday the 16th right through to Thursday the 24th, the swell stays small (1ft to 2ft), short-period, with most of the combined energy readings below 50. Winds are mostly cross or cross-off, keeping the surface clean-ish, but the waves just aren't there. We see some offshore wind on Sunday the 19th from the WSW and Monday the 20th, but the swell is only 1ft at 8 seconds. There's nothing to get excited about.
Honestly, this is a classic summer flat spell for this area. It can change, but right now, if you're desperate for a paddle, that Wednesday morning is your only real look. Keep an eye on the charts, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
