Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Righto, we’re talking Vredenberg Point, a southwest-facing point break that’s fairly consistent and loves a SW swell. Water temp is 58°, a bit colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll want a good 4/3.
Quiet start. Friday the 3rd kicks off with choppy 5ft cross-shore junk, not worth it. Saturday the 4th cleans up nice with light offshore winds and a 3ft groundswell (moderate energy). By Saturday afternoon that swell drops a touch to 2ft but the period stretches to 16 seconds – long-period groundswell that’ll wrap in clean and glassy. Good way to ease in.
Sunday the 5th morning is the early stand-out: glassy calm, 3ft of SW groundswell with 14-second intervals and moderate energy. Dead calm wind, clean lines – a dream session. The afternoon gets sloppy with a light cross-onshore, so hit that morning.
Monday the 6th jumps up big. Morning sees 8ft of WSW groundswell with 12-second period and strong energy, all under clean offshore winds. That’s excellent for experienced surfers – too big for beginners. The afternoon gets lumpy with cross-onshore, so get out early.
The middle of the week stays punchy: Tuesday the 7th around 7-7ft, Wednesday the 8th pushes to 8ft with 13-second period and very strong energy. Riddled with cross-shore chop though – not clean. Thursday the 9th is similar, still marginal.
Then Friday the 10th is the outright gem. Morning brings 7ft of SSW groundswell, 13-second period, strong energy, and light offshore breeze – clean as a whistle. By afternoon, dead calm, glassy, 6ft – perfect for experienced surfers. Circle that Friday.
Saturday the 11th is a mellow 4ft, clean but cruisy. Sunday the 12th gets blown out with strong offshore wind. Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th are poor – cross-shore chop and onshore slop with rain.
Wednesday the 15th throws a surprise: clean 4ft with offshore breeze, glassy afternoon – a hidden gem.
Then Thursday the 16th morning is a monster: 8ft of SW groundswell with 15-second period and extreme energy, under clean offshore wind. Expert-only, massive long-period lines – a point break dream. The afternoon hits 10ft but swings onshore, so morning only.
Friday the 17th stays big at 8ft but messy cross-shore wind – doable not clean. Fades to poor onshore junk Saturday the 18th.
Best sessions: Sunday the 5th morning for glassy smaller waves, Friday the 10th for a full day of clean strong groundswell. Thursday the 16th morning for the hardcore. Crowds show up sometimes – expect a few locals on the standouts.

Information about the Vredenberg Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Vredenberg Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Vredenberg Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Vredenberg Point 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 (Vredenberg Point) 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 Vredenberg Point 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.
