The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew through this forecast.
To be honest, the first week is a write-off for any decent surf. The first day that even coughs up a hint of a wave is Monday, August 17th, and it’s barely a ripple. We’re looking at a big, flat gap before anything gets interesting. The real swell doesn’t show until Tuesday, August 25th – that’s a solid week of waiting.
Water temp at Maravi is 85°, running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Nice for a float, but doesn’t help the waves.
Let’s take it day by day. From Wednesday the 12th through Sunday the 16th, it’s flat. Swell is 1ft to 3ft, wind is cross-on or onshore from the west or northwest, and the combined energy is weak, peaking at 103 on Sunday morning. The period is short, 6 to 8 seconds, so no power.
Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are marginal. Mornings show a light cross-onshore breeze with 3ft to 3ft swell from the WNW. The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast.” It’s barely surfable.
From Wednesday the 19th through Monday the 24th, it’s back to poor. A couple of mornings are glassy – Wednesday the 19th and Friday the 21st – but the swell is tiny, 2ft to 3ft, with a period of just 6 seconds. Energy is low, under 50. It’s flat.
Now, the one standout. Tuesday, August 25th. The morning brings a solid 5ft swell from the WNW, 8-second period, and the combined energy hits 230 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-shore from the southwest. That’s your best shot. The afternoon keeps it going with 5ft swell and 287 energy, but the wind swings cross-onshore, adding some chop. It’s the only window with real size, even if the period is short.
Wednesday the 26th drops to 4ft and 3ft, energy down to 157 and 107, still cross-onshore. Thursday the 27th is back to tiny, clean but small.
So, the one true highlight is Tuesday morning, August 25th. That’s the session to aim for. The rest of the run is mostly flat or barely ridable. If you’re into kiting, the stronger afternoon winds on the 25th might be more your speed.
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.
