The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

Alright, strap in. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way at Vredenberg Point, but it’s a tale of two halves. The first few days look prime for the experienced surfer, then things get properly serious.

We kick off Wednesday, July 29th. Morning is the call. The water temp is sitting at about 59°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. We've got a 7ft SW groundswell, with a long 13-second period, wrapping in clean. Winds are light offshore from the NE, making for some excellent conditions. The wave energy is pumping at (1431). This is the standout for the week.

Thursday, July 30th, the swell drops a touch to 5ft but stays clean with light offshore E wind in the morning. Still a very good session on offer, with 784 wave energy.

Friday, July 31st, the swell backs down to 4ft. It’s clean in the morning with a light cross-offshore breeze, so you can still get a few, but it’s not the main event.

Saturday, August 1st, morning glass-off with light offshore ENE wind on a 4ft SW swell. Clean and very good. The energy's moderate at 589.

Sunday, August 2nd, afternoon is the pick: glassy conditions and a 4ft SW swell. That’s a window for a smooth session.

Monday, August 3rd, we’re back to a glassy morning with a 5ft WSW swell. The energy ramps up to (789), and conditions look very good for an intermediate surfer. This is a solid morning.

Then Tuesday, August 4th starts clean and glassy but the swell drops to 3ft. It’s still surfable for a fun little morning.

Wednesday, August 5th, the character changes. The morning has a 5ft SW swell but with a howling 22 mph N cross-offshore wind. It’s clean but powerful. The afternoon though… 10ft SW swell. That’s too big for this break, even if the wind and tide are favorable. This is expert territory only.

Thursday, August 6th, the swell is 8ft in the morning but the wind is onshore and lumpy. Poor conditions. The afternoon sees 13ft WSW - again, too big for comfort. Kite surfers might be eyeing this up, but for a paddle, it’s a pass.

Friday, August 7th, 15ft SW in the morning, a bit cross-shore but light wind. Still, way too big for this spot. Afternoon is similarly huge at 13ft with a strong cross-onshore. Not for paddling.

Saturday, August 8th, morning brings a drop to 8ft SW with light cross-offshore SE wind. This one is back in the game for experienced surfers. The wave energy is (2439). Clean, powerful, but manageable for those who know what they’re doing. That’s your second standout.

After that, from Sunday, August 9th, through to Wednesday, August 13th, it’s a mix of too-big swells, onshore winds, and poor surf quality. Monday, August 11th, the morning shows 12ft SW with light winds but it’s still oversized. The run continues until Thursday, August 13th, where we see another 10ft SW swell with offshore wind, but once again, it’s too big.

So, the two clear winners are the morning of Wednesday, July 29th, and the morning of Saturday, August 8th.

Rusty out.

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.
