The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer along the Villa Gesell stretch for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a solid gap of poor conditions from today through to about the 13th of August. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-off but way too strong, or it’s cross-on and choppy. The swell is hanging around, but the quality just isn’t there. You’ll see some waves, but they’ll be a mess. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 11th with a clean-looking morning, but the swell is only 4.6ft from the SSE and the period bumps up to 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 968 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is light cross-shore, so it’s just about ridable. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
Things start to look a little more promising towards the end of the second week. The real standout is shaping up for Friday the 21st of August. We’ve got a clean morning with a 4.3ft SSE swell rolling in from the ESE, with a 12-second period – that’s a nice groundswell with some real push. The combined energy is moderate at 421, and the wind is light offshore from the NW. That’s clean. Then Friday afternoon gets even better: the wind drops to glassy, the swell is still a solid 3.6ft, and the period is still 12 seconds. That’s the morning and afternoon session you want to circle in your calendar. It’s the best on offer, no question.
The swell stays around through the 22nd, but the wind swings onshore, so that window is tight. Thursday the 20th could be a bit of a sneaky one too – 6.6ft from the ESE with a 13-second period, so it’s got some size, but it’s a strong groundswell, and the wind is cross-off. Might be a bit too much for the beginners, but for the guys who know what they’re doing, it’s worth a look. The combined energy is strong at 1220.
Overall, it’s a slow start, but the last few days of the 16-day window hold some real promise. Stick with it.

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