Voelklip Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down for Voelklip over the next couple weeks.

Right off the bat, Wednesday the 8th of July is nothing special. We got swell around 7ft to 8ft from the SW, but the wind is messy – cross-onshore and cross – making it choppy. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.

The first real highlight hits Thursday the 9th of July. Early morning, you got a solid 8ft swell from the SW with a 14-second period, giving it real groundswell punch. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ESE, cleaning the place up nicely. Combined wave energy is strong at 2684. This is strictly for experienced surfers at that size – too big for beginners. It’s a very consistent reef break, and crowds can sometimes pop up, but with conditions that good, it’s worth the company.

Friday the 10th stays around 8ft, shifting to a SSW direction, and the wind stays cross-offshore – clean, but not quite the same magic as Thursday. The size drops through the weekend, and by Sunday the 12th we’re looking at 5ft and smaller. Still rideable but losing steam.

There’s a real quiet spell from Monday the 13th afternoon through Wednesday the 15th – small, weak, and messy. Not worth the paddle.

Now, looking ahead, Sunday the 19th of July is another standout. The morning shows a 6ft SSW swell at a very long 17 seconds, with a moderate offshore from the NE. The afternoon session is even better: 7ft from the SSW, 16-second period, light offshore wind, and combined energy at 2614 – strong and clean. That afternoon could be a beauty for experienced surfers.

Later on the 22nd of July, there’s a bigger 12ft swell forecast, but the wind is onshore and the break might be too big to handle cleanly – more a spectacle than a session.

If you’re experienced, mark your calendar for Thursday the 9th of July morning and Sunday the 19th of July afternoon. The rest is a mixed bag of small, clean, or blown out.
