The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for the Villa (Big Island). We've got a long stretch of onshore winds and messy, weak surf that's going to have you staring at the ocean more than you're surfing it. The water temp is sitting right where it should be for this time of year, which is about the only thing that's normal.
The first real chance of anything starts this Friday, August 14th. There's a long-period SW groundswell showing up, pushing 16 seconds, and the waves will be around 4.3ft. But don't get too excited – the winds are cross-onshore and the surf is going to be chopped up and marginal. It's a tough paddle for not much reward. Saturday and Sunday, August 15th and 16th, are much the same, with the swell energy dropping off and the wind staying cross-onshore. It's really not worth suiting up unless you just need to get wet.
We see a little more size early next week. On Monday morning, August 17th, we've got 4.9ft of SW groundswell, but the wind is still junk. Then Tuesday afternoon, August 18th, the swell actually jumps up to 6.6ft, but the wind goes onshore and the whole thing turns into a washing machine. At that size, it’s too big for the beginners, but the wind will make it a mess for everyone. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing honestly.
After that, we're looking at a slow bleed-out. The swell is still there on Wednesday and Thursday, August 19th and 20th, hanging around 5.2-5.9ft, but the period is short and the energy drops. The wind is still cross-onshore, so quality is poor. By Friday, August 21st, we finally get some lighter winds and a slight shift, but the swell has faded to 3.6ft. It looks like the best chance for a wave might be Friday afternoon when the wind goes light onshore and it cleans up a bit, but it's still not anything to write home about.
The second week is looking bleak. From Saturday, August 22nd through the end of the forecast window, the swell drops off a cliff. We're talking 1.3ft to a max of 3.6ft, which is basically flat. This is a long stretch of nothing. Truth be told, for a spot like Villa, this blank run is more normal than not, but forecasts can always change. I wouldn't hold my breath for this one though.
Keep the board dusty, folks.

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.
