The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about Maravi.
To be straight with you, mate – the next 16 days are a tough watch for Maravi. We’re talking about a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot that’s fairly exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is SW. But the problem is, the swell we’ve got coming in is almost entirely from the WNW and NW. That’s not matching up well at all. The wave energy is weak across the board, barely cracking a combined energy of 81. It’s a long, lean stretch ahead.
Let’s walk through it. Starting Monday the 10th of August, the mornings are clean with light winds, but the swell is tiny – 0.6m (about 2ft) from the WNW with a short 6-second period (21 energy). It’s poor. Afternoons get choppy with a moderate 12 mph cross-onshore. That pattern repeats Tuesday and Wednesday: not enough push, and the wind messes it up. The water temp is 85°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the surf.
Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are the closest we get to “clean” – light cross-offshore winds in the mornings, but the swell drops to a pathetic 0.4m (1ft) from the WNW (14 energy). You’d be scratching to get a knee-high ride. The weekend of the 15th and 16th stays poor, though the period bumps to 8 seconds on Sunday (55 energy). Still, it’s small and cross-on.
The best-looking window, and I mean the absolute standout of this entire bleak run, is the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. For the first time, we get glassy conditions – near zero wind – and a 0.6m (2ft) swell from the WNW (20 energy). It’s still not big, but for Maravi, that’s the cleanest, most surfable moment of the whole forecast. The swell direction is wrong for the optimum, but the glassy conditions make it rideable. Crowds are possible here, so expect company.
After that, Sunday the 23rd drops off again, and the last few days of the outlook are more of the same – tiny, weak, and mostly onshore. Tuesday the 25th morning has clean cross-off winds but only 0.5m (2ft) from the WNW.
So, the honest truth: if you’re a beginner looking for a soft, clean wave, the Saturday morning of the 22nd is your best bet. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a write-off – small, choppy, and poorly aligned. It’s the kind of stretch where you’d be better off leaving the board in the car.
Stay patient, mates.

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.
