The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range look for Maravi. Straight up, it’s a tough stretch ahead. I’m not gonna sugar-coat it: the next couple of weeks are looking flat and messy, with no real swell of consequence on the cards. We’re stuck in a pattern of weak, short-period WNW windswell, and the wind is just not playing nice for most of it.
The first week is a write-off, honestly. From August 5th through the 11th, we’re looking at tiny surf, mostly below 2ft, with periods around 6 seconds. That’s not a wave, that’s just ripple. The mornings do offer some shelter from the breeze, with a few glassy patches, but the swell energy is negligible. The combined energy during this time is weak, bouncing between 15 and 48 – just not enough push to do anything. It’s flat, it’s gutless. You’d be better off checking the tide pools.
The second week brings a slight bump in size, but it's still nothing to get excited about. From the 12th through to the 15th, we see waves creeping up to 3ft, but the period stays stubbornly short at 6-7 seconds. This is not a groundswell; it’s just local wind chop. The afternoons are consistently ruined by a cross-onshore wind, making things choppy and lumpy. The mornings are the only hope, but even then, the cross-shore breeze and weak energy (maxing out around 73) mean it’s marginal at best.
Honestly, this is a classic case where the conditions are more suited for a kite than a surfboard. The swell is small, the period is short, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore in the afternoons. It’s going to be a frustrating fortnight for anyone wanting to paddle out and catch a proper wave. The consistency is there in name, but the quality is just not.
There are no standout days in this window. Nothing is firing. The combined energy levels stay in that weak-to-moderate range throughout, and with such a short period, even the slightly bigger days on the 14th and 18th will just be closed-out and lumpy. We need a change in the weather pattern, and a proper long-period swell to get things moving again. But hey, that’s the ocean for you. Sometimes it gives, sometimes it takes. This time, it’s taking a holiday.
Stay patient. When a real swell shows up on the forecasts, you know I’ll be here to tell you about it.

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.
