The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Villa. This is a reef break, exposed to the SW swell, and it’s usually on the money when conditions line up. The water's running about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a grind. We’ve got swell on the table, but the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the surf reports are calling it marginal or poor. The combined energy of all swells is moderate, sitting around 720 to over 1200, so there’s push, but it’s not delivering clean waves. The period is solid, with plenty of long-period groundswell in the 15-19 second range, which is great for this reef, but the wind is just messing it up. It's a real shame.
We finally get a proper window starting Thursday, the 6th of August. The wind goes light offshore from the SW, and the swell is a consistent 4ft to 4ft from the SW, with a period of 12-13 seconds. The energy is strong, over 1087, and the surf is clean. This is the standout. Thursday morning and afternoon both look like the best we’ll see. The 7th of August isn't bad either, with a bit more size at 5ft to 5ft, but the wind is cross-on from the SSW, so it won't be as glassy. Still, it’s a classic, solid groundswell on a reef – that’s what you’re here for.
Don’t expect much before that. The 24th through the 5th of August is a long stretch of choppy, cross-on conditions. The swell is there, but it’s not worth paddling out for. The 31st of July through the 1st of August is a total write-off – poor surf and weak energy. The 2nd of August has a bit of hope with light onshore wind, but the swell is small and the period is average.
For a beginner, the swell stays under 5ft for most of the run, so the size isn't intimidating, but the choppy surface will make it tough. When it hits 5ft to 5ft on the 7th, that’s a step up, but still manageable for a confident intermediate. Over 8ft? Not in this window.
Stick to the 6th and 7th of August if you can. That’s where the magic is. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Villa Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Villa provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Villa can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Villa 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) 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 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.
Villa is 20 km (12 miles) from the city of Lima. If you plan a holiday in Lima, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lima. Lima has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
