Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into what we've got.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next two-plus weeks are looking grim for Vilano Jetty. There's nothing on offer for the first five days, and even after that, it's a long stretch of poor conditions. We're talking about a solid week or more where there's basically nothing worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting at about 85°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
Alright, we finally see a glimmer on the morning of Thursday, July 9th. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the ESE with a period of 9 seconds (combined energy is 92), and the wind is light and offshore from the WSW. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." That's the best we get. It's a beach/jetty setup, so that long period might make it a little straighter, but with that glassy wind, it might just be worth a look for a few small, clean waves. Don't expect any power.
Then we skip all the way to Friday morning, July 17th, for the next mention of "surfable." The swell is still tiny at 2 ft from the ESE, but the period is a short 5 seconds (combined energy 50). That's blown-out, weak windswell. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSE, keeping it clean, but the quality is still very ordinary. It’s a small step up from flat, but only just.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. Everything is small, weak, and the conditions are mostly poor. The one morning on July 9th with the glassy offshore wind is the only real window for a clean, albeit tiny, wave. For the rest of this forecast, you're better off checking the swell forecast again next week. Don't hold your breath.

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.
