Vredenberg Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming up.

We kick off this Saturday, July 11th, with a solid SW groundswell hitting Vredenberg Point. This point break is wide open to it. The water's about average for the time of year. The morning is the pick – 7 ft of SSW swell at 12 seconds, strong energy at 1561, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE keeping it clean. This is the standout for the first few days, only for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets a bit onshore, so get on it early.

Sunday the 12th is a beauty. The swell runs 5 ft from the SSW at 11 seconds, moderate energy at 821. The morning is clean with a light NE cross-off, but the afternoon is the real star – dead glassy, no wind, at 0 mph. Silky smooth conditions for the intermediate surfer.

Monday the 13th is a small morning session at 3 ft, 10-second period, glassy again. The energy is weaker at 307. It'll be fun on a foamie. The afternoon is a write-off.

Tuesday the 14th is small and glassy in the morning, 3 ft from the W. Wednesday the 15th is a sneaky good one. Morning glassy again, but the swell is 3 ft from the WSW with a very long 16-second period. That's a proper groundswell, and on a point, it'll line up nicely. The energy is moderate at 639. The afternoon jumps to 8 ft from the SW, 15-second period, but a moderate cross-shore messes it up.

Thursday the 16th is a big, heavy day. Morning has 10 ft of SW swell at 13 seconds, strong energy at 3087. Too big for most, only for experts. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it's a handful.

Friday the 17th is another standout. Morning brings 8 ft of SW swell at 12 seconds, strong energy at 1358, and a clean cross-off from the SE. Excellent for the experienced crew. Saturday the 18th is also a gem. 6 ft of SSW swell at 12 seconds, strong energy at 1258, with an offshore wind from the E. The afternoon goes glassy on 6 ft of SSW swell, 14-second period, and 1534 energy – a top session.

The swell drops after that. The 19th and 20th are small and mostly blown out. The 21st has a tiny 2 ft from the SW but with a 19-second period – a very long period groundswell. The energy is moderate at 500, and it's clean in the morning, but it's a long wait for a small wave.

The 22nd, 23rd, and 24th are a mix of building size and wind. The 24th, a Friday, jumps to 13 ft of SW swell at 19 seconds, with extreme energy at 10765. The wind is a light cross-off in the morning, and it's clean, but it's only for the experts. The 25th and 26th stay in the 12 ft to 13 ft range, with similar conditions – huge, clean, and only for the brave.

So, the best sessions are this Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon, and then next Friday and Saturday morning. The long period swells on the 15th and 21st are interesting for the point. The end of the run is massive and clean, but strictly for the experts.

Rusty.
