The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Maravi's got cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it's looking pretty bleak for a paddle. The combined swell energy is weak across the entire 16-day run, with values struggling to get out of double digits for most of it. The biggest pulse of energy we see is a moderate 354 (on the morning of the 30th of August), but that's paired with a moderate cross-onshore breeze that'll have it all choppy. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 85°.
The problem is, we just don't get any decent swell. The waves here are tiny, rarely cracking 3 ft, and the period is short – mostly in the 6-8 second range – so there's no grunt behind them. The best you can hope for are some glassy windows on the morning of the 3rd of September and again on the 10th and 11th, but with swell height at only 1 ft to 2 ft, it's just not going to be worth getting the board wet. Even when the wind goes light or offshore, the wave size just isn't there to do anything with. The afternoon of the 8th of September sees a jump in energy to 203 and a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is onshore and the wave quality is poor, so it'll be a mess.
For a beginner spot that's fairly consistent, a long run of tiny, weak surf like this is a real bummer. It's not a place that often fires, but a full fortnight of nothing is a tough stretch. Honestly, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if the wind is good, because there's just no wave to surf.

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.
