The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Villa has got cooking over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water is running way warmer than usual for this time of year, about 71°, which is a solid 9° above normal. That's a real treat.
The outlook is a bit of a mixed bag. We start off with some energy in the water, but the conditions are pretty average. Monday the 17th has some SW swell at 4ft with a very long 14-second period, so there's plenty of push, but the wind is a cross-on S breeze, making it choppy. It’s not looking great for a paddle.
Tuesday the 18th actually sees the swell pick up. Tuesday morning has a 7ft SW swell, 13-second period, and the energy is getting strong. The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the SSE, which is manageable, but it's still not clean. The afternoon gets blown out with a stronger cross-on wind. It's doable for advanced surfers but nothing to write home about.
We then hit a bit of a flat patch. From Wednesday the 19th right through to Thursday the 27th, it's mostly small, weak, and onshore. The swell drops to under 3ft, periods get short, and the energy drops right off. There are a few mornings with light offshore winds, like Thursday the 20th with a 6ft swell and a light SW offshore, but the period is a short 9 seconds. It’s marginal at best. Most of this period is a write-off for good surf.
Now, hang onto your boards, because the real standout window is way out there. The best bet of the whole forecast is shaping up for the end of August and into September. Friday the 28th of August is the one to circle. We’ve got a solid 5ft SW swell in the morning, building to 7ft in the afternoon, and that period is a very long 17-18 seconds. The energy is strong. The wind looks light and variable, possibly offshore from the WSW. That is going to be clean, powerful, and lined-up. This is a spot where that long-period groundswell will really shine.
Saturday the 29th holds similar size, around 7ft to 7ft from the SW, but the wind swings more cross-on from the S, which will put a bit of a chop on it. It’s still good, but Friday the 28th is the clear winner.
So, if you can wait, Friday the 28th is the day. Get out to Villa (Villa) early for the cleanest conditions. It’ll be solid and powerful, so that’s one for the experienced crew. The crowds are likely to be there given the quality on offer.
Keep an eye on the long-range stuff into September, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
