The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. I've had a good look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks, and I've got to be honest with you—it's a quiet run. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing much, with only a tiny glimmer of hope right at the tail end. Don't expect any hero sessions, but let's walk through it day by day.
The forecast is dry for the entire outlook, but that’s about the only thing going for it. Right now, we're looking at a blank spell that lasts all the way from Friday the 7th of August right through to Tuesday the 18th of August. That's a solid 11 days with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The swells are tiny and weak, the winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the wave energy is just pathetic. We’re talking combined energy values stuck between 8 and 41 for most of that time, with occasional bumps up into the 80s and 100s, but the conditions are so blown out or wind-affected that it’s just not surfable. The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year.
The only real chance we see comes on Wednesday the 19th of August. It’s not a day to call in sick for, but it’s the one bright spot in an otherwise grim forecast. Maravi (Chilaw) will see a bit of a lift. The swell will be coming from the WNW at around 3 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a modest 57—still weak, but it's the best we've got. The key here is the wind. Wednesday morning we get a light, clean cross-offshore breeze from the SSW at 6 mph. That should make the conditions clean, and for a beginner-friendly spot like this, that's your window. The surf will be small and weak, but it'll be rideable. Expect maybe a few other folks out there, as crowds are possible, but nothing crazy.
After that, we slide back into the doldrums. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are back to tiny, weak, and mostly blown-out surf. The wind on those mornings is cross-offshore again, but the swell is just too small to bother with. Saturday the 22nd is more of the same—flat and weak.
So, to sum it up: don't hold your breath for the next week and a half. The only real chance for a paddle is on the morning of Wednesday the 19th at Maravi. It'll be small, but it might be your only clean wave of the entire forecast. Keep an eye on it, but don't get your hopes too high.
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.
