Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
We’ve got a 16-day window starting now, and the only break that’s come through with anything worth talking about is Vredenberg Point. It’s a point break, fairly consistent, and it loves a SW swell. The water temperature is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The first few days are a bit of a slow burn. Sunday morning the 5th kicks off with a clean 3 ft glassy SW swell. It’s small but the conditions are perfect – dead calm, no wind. That’s a nice little session to ease into the week.
Then things start to ramp up. Monday morning the 6th is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a 7 ft WSW swell (moderate energy at 1269) with a clean cross-off breeze. This is one for the experienced crew – that size is pushing it for beginners. The period is 11 seconds, so it’s got some proper groundswell punch.
The standout in the whole run? For me, it’s Friday morning the 10th and Saturday morning the 11th. Friday the 10th serves up a 8 ft SSW swell with glassy conditions and a cross-off breeze – clean, lined-up, and powerful. Saturday the 11th is a little smaller at 5 ft, but it’s glassy as glass can be, with a 12-second period. That’s a dream session for a point break.
After that, the swell drops off sharply. The middle of the second week – from Sunday the 12th through Tuesday the 14th – is mostly small and messy, with strong onshore winds and poor surf. Not worth paddling out.
But don’t write off the end of the run. Wednesday morning the 15th brings a surprise: a 5 ft WSW swell with 14-second period and glassy conditions. Clean, long lines.
Then, on Friday the 17th, we see another big push – 8 ft SW swell (strong energy at 2644) with a clean cross-off wind. That’s for the advanced crew only. It’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but it looks promising.
Overall, the best bet is Saturday the 11th – clean, glassy, and a solid 5 ft SSW groundswell at a point break. That’s the one to circle.
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.
