The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Villa over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is pretty grim. The whole 16-day stretch is a real struggle. There’s a constant, moderate wave energy (612 to 1337) coming from the southwest, but the wind is a persistent problem. It’s almost always a cross-onshore breeze, which is going to chop things up and keep the quality low. The water temperature is a toasty 69°F, which is 7°F warmer than normal, so that’s a very unusual situation for this time of year, but it’s not much comfort when the waves are messy.
We start off on Tuesday, 1st September. The morning has some light SW wind, but it’s still an onshore breeze, and the 3ft SW swell at 12 seconds is just not clean enough to get excited about. The afternoon gets worse with a stronger cross-on shore. This pattern doesn’t really let up. Wednesday the 2nd is a write-off. Through Thursday and Friday, the swell does build to 5ft, and the energy gets up to strong levels (1337), but it’s all spoiled by the cross-onshore wind. The 16-18 second period means it’s a proper groundswell, but it’s breaking straight and choppy on this reef setup. It’s not doing anyone any favours. The weekend, 6th and 7th of September, sees the swell drop back to 3ft with the same dirty wind. The second week is more of the same, with the swell dropping under 3ft and the wind staying cross-on or even getting stronger. There are a few days, like the 10th and 13th, where the wind is light, but it’s still cross-on, and the swell is tiny.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. The consistent cross-onshore wind and the “marginal” or “poor” conditions just kill it. If you’ve got a kite, this setup might be more interesting than trying to paddle into these choppy lines. For a surfer, it’s a tough run. The good news is that Villa is a very consistent break, so it won’t stay this poor forever, and the forecast can always change. But for now, save your energy.
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.
