The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Maravi's got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet picture overall.
Right now, and for the first few days, it's flat. Nothing doing. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak energy. For Friday the 28th of August, you're looking at ankle-snappers around 1 ft from the northwest with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 8, which is barely a ripple. The water is sitting at 85°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. With a light cross-shore breeze it's clean, but there's just no push. This flat spell carries right through the weekend and into Monday.
We finally see a little pulse of energy on Sunday the 30th morning. Swell bumps up to 6 ft from the WNW, and the combined energy hits 383, which is moderate energy. But the period is only 8 seconds, so it's a short-period wind swell. The wind is cross-onshore, making it a bit choppy. It’s not really rideable in any quality sense, and the forecast calls it poor.
The only flicker of hope comes on Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. The forecast bumps it to a marginal call. Swell is 3 ft from the WNW, with an 8-second period. It's still small, and the wind is light and cross-onshore. Not a standout by any stretch, just the only window where it might be worth a paddle for the desperate. After that, we slide right back into tiny, glassy conditions mid-week, but with no swell to speak of. The energy drops back into single digits.
Looking further out, the second week is more of the same. We get a few clean, glassy mornings with light offshore winds, like the 12th of September morning, but the swell is only 2 ft. It’s clean, but there’s no power behind it. The pattern of tiny, weak swell and onshore afternoon winds just keeps repeating. Honestly, for a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break, this is a real dry spell. We're talking over a week and a half with nothing that gets the heart rate up.
For the pick of the litter? I’d say keep an eye on that Tuesday morning, September 1st. It’s the only one that even gets a "marginal" tag. But don’t get your hopes up, it's more of a "maybe you can catch a dribbler" than a session to write home about.
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.
