The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, sizing up the next 16 days at Villa Gesell. Gotta be straight with you: the first week is a total bust. From now through the 6th of August, there’s a long, dry gap with nothing worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, wind is all over the place, and the wave energy is weak – reading under 100 most of the time. Water temp is about normal for the season. Just store the board.
On Tuesday the 4th, there’s a tiny glimmer. A clean, glassy afternoon with a 0.6m SE swell, 10-second period, but only 91 units of energy. It’s surfable, but barely. Wednesday the 5th is flat again.
The real standout hits on Friday the 7th. Morning brings a solid 1.8m SSW swell, 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 522 – that’s moderate power. The wind is light offshore, almost glassy, so the surf will be clean. That’s your best bet. The afternoon drops to 1.7m from the S, still clean. Mark that day.
The 8th and 9th get messy. Swell builds to 1.8m and 1.9m from the SSE, with periods up to 14 seconds and energy hitting 1342 – strong stuff. But the wind is onshore and choppy, ruining the surface. With that size, it’s too big for beginners and the long period might make the beach break a bit straight.
The 10th and 11th clean up with offshore winds, but the swell fades – 1.2m down to 0.4m. The 11th has a weird 16-second period on a tiny 0.4m SE swell, energy of 174. Barely a ripple.
From the 12th onward, it’s poor again. Strong winds, tiny waves, energy under 105. The 16th is a write-off with fresh cross-shore chop.
Bottom line: the first week is a wash. Friday the 7th is your best shot – early morning, clean 1.8m SSW swell with light offshore wind. Get it while it’s good. The rest is either too small, too windy, or not worth the hassle.
Rusty.

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.

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.
