The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for proper surf. There’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for, so I’m not going to sugarcoat it. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch with nothing on offer from now right through to the end of the period.
The only spot in the mix is Maravi. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it likes a swell from the SW. But the problem is the swell just isn’t showing up. All through the first week, from Saturday 1 August right through to Sunday 9 August, we’re stuck with tiny, weak waves – mostly 1ft to 2ft. The period is short, barely scraping 7 to 8 seconds, and the combined energy is pathetic (60 or less most days). The winds are a mess too: mostly onshore or cross-onshore, with a moderate breeze. There’s a couple of brief windows of glassy or clean conditions, like Tuesday 4 August morning with a light WNW wind going glass, and Wednesday 5 August morning with a light cross-offshore, but the swell is just too small and weak to make anything of it. Even the best of those mornings, with 2ft of NW swell, it’s just not enough to shape a wave you’d want to ride.
The second week, from Monday 10 August through to Sunday 16 August, doesn’t get any better. The swell stays tiny, with heights barely hitting 1ft to 2ft, and periods stuck at 5 to 7 seconds. The wind is a mixed bag of light cross-offshores and moderate onshores. There’s a slight uptick on Saturday 15 August and Sunday 16 August, where the swell bumps up to 3ft to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 to 8 seconds, and the combined energy finally climbs into the three-digit range (111 to 170). But it’s still poor surf conditions – the wind is mostly cross-onshore and choppy, and the water temperature is already a touch warmer than normal at 84°.
The bottom line: there’s no standout, no hidden gem, not even a half-decent wave in the whole 16 days. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. The forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off finding something else to do.
Rusty.

Information about the Maravi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Maravi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Maravi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Maravi 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 (Maravi) 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 Maravi 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.
Maravi is 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Yafo. If you plan a holiday in Tel Aviv and South, look for hotels and other accommodation in Yafo. Yafo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
