G'day, Rusty here, checking in on the local surf scene for Villa Gesell.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – it's a gritty stretch ahead. The water temp's sitting at a fairly average 49°, nothing wild there. For the first week and a half, it's mostly dry. There's just nothing worth paddling out for. From Tuesday the 8th all the way through to Friday the 18th, nearly every day is a write-off. We get some clean conditions now and then with offshore winds, but the swell's barely a ripple – we're talking 0.3ft to 0.5ft, with weak combined energy (anywhere from 16 to 70). It's flat, mate. The only tiny glimmer is Saturday morning the 10th when there's a 4ft S swell and moderate energy (299), but it's cross-onshore and choppy. Not your day.
Now, after a long gap, things start to stir around Sunday the 19th, but it's rough. We've got a 5ft E swell pushing in Sunday morning with strong cross-onshore winds blowing 25 mph – that's messy and lumpy, not for the paddle crew. Honestly, that setup's more interesting for kite surfing than a surfboard. The energy is moderate (297), but the quality is shocking.
Heads-up for Wednesday the 22nd. That's the one to circle on the calendar. Morning sees a 4ft S swell with a 10-second period and moderate-to-strong combined energy (470). The wind is a gentle cross-shore breeze, so there's only a slight chop. It's still marginal though. This is a sandbar break that's consistent, so it should be breaking, but it's not a standout. The swell direction (S) isn't a perfect match to the optimum SSE, but it's close enough to work.
So, if you're desperate, Wednesday the 22nd morning is your best bet, but keep expectations low. The rest of the 16 days is a tough slog with a lot of flat spells and onshore junk. It's one of those periods where you wait for the charts to change.
Stay frothy,
Rusty

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.
