Alright folks, this is Rusty checkin’ in with a look at the local stretch over the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta be straight with you—this isn’t one of those epic runs we dream about. The forecast is pretty bleak for a solid stretch, so patience is gonna be the name of the game.
We’ve got a real quiet start here at Vilas. For the first few days, don’t even bother paddling out. Friday afternoon the 3rd kicks things off with a 6ft swell, but it’s coming from the ESE with a short 9-second period, and the wind is on it. The combined energy sits at 594—moderate energy—but between the wind and the questionable tide, it’s gonna be a choppy mess. Saturday the 4th through to Tuesday the 8th is a major gap in any decent surf. Conditions are poor or marginal at best, with waves dropping fast. You’re lookin’ at choppy, cross-onshore slop with swell heights barely hitting 5ft on the better days, and the energy drops off a cliff. Not worth your time.
Now, there is a tiny glimmer. On Wednesday morning, the 8th of July, things clean up suddenly. We get a light offshore breeze—N at 6 mph—and a 2ft swell out of the south with a long 12-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 226. It ain’t big, but the wind will make it glassy and clean, and that longer period will give the waves some shape. This is a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s the best on offer in this whole stretch, but it’s small. Crowds are possible on a clean day like that, so keep that in mind.
After that little window, it’s back to the grind. From Wednesday afternoon the 8th right through to Saturday the 18th, we’re in a long, poor-quality run. Swells are small—mostly under 3ft—and the wind is often cross-onshore or onshore. The energy stays in the low to mid 200s, and even when we see a few pulses of 13-second period groundswell on the 11th and 12th, the wind just kills it. There’s nothing here that’s going to get your heart racing.
For a stretch like this, it’s pretty normal for the area. The consistency isn’t there, and when you get a blank run like this, you just have to wait for the charts to turn around. As it stands, save your energy for that Wednesday morning glass-off—it’s the only real standout, and even then, it’s only for the beginner crew looking for a clean, small day.
Rusty.

Information about the Vilas Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Vilas provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Vilas can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Vilas 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 (Vilas) 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 Vilas 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.
