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.

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.
