The Lowdown
Look, mate, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: the next couple of weeks are a real struggle for Villa Gesell. We’ve got a long dry spell to start, with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The first decent-looking window doesn’t arrive until Wednesday, the 9th of September, so expect a solid run of flat or very weak days before that.
From Friday the 28th through to Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell is tiny—mostly around 1ft to 2ft from the east, with very short periods (8–9 seconds) and weak energy (between 23 and 94). The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. There’s a bit of offshore or cross-off wind at times, but the waves just aren’t there. It’s frustrating.
Then on Wednesday the 2nd of September, we see a jump to 4ft from the south, but the period drops to a lousy 7 seconds and the wind is messy—cross or onshore. The energy is moderate (151) but the conditions are poor, so don’t get excited. That pattern of small, weak, poorly-winded surf drags on right through to Tuesday the 8th.
The first real standout comes on Wednesday the 9th. That afternoon, Villa Gesell gets a clean 5ft swell from the SSW with a 7-second period, light offshore wind from the NNW, and solid energy (233). The waves will be surfable and clean—this is your best genuine look in the whole forecast. Thursday the 10th morning sees the swell bump up to 6ft from the south with a longer 11-second period and very strong energy (797), but the wind is cross-onshore, making it messy. That size is also getting too big for beginners. Thursday afternoon drops to 4ft with onshore wind, so it’s not the one.
After that, Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th have onshore winds (19 mph from the SSE and SE) with moderate 4ft–4ft swell, but it’s choppy and lumpy. Not worth it.
So here’s the call: if you’re waiting for something, aim for Wednesday afternoon, the 9th of September. That’s the pick of a pretty average two-week block.

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.
