The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at you from Maravi. Let’s get straight to it, because we’ve got a flat spell on our hands that’s gonna test your patience. The forecast is a long, dry run of tiny, weak, and messy surf with almost nothing worth paddling out for. From now through the next couple of weeks, the story stays the same: small, short-period windswell (6 seconds) and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds chopping it up. The combined wave energy is weak throughout, sitting mostly below 50, so there’s just no power behind it.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s a gap of zero recommended surf right from the start. We don’t see anything decent until Monday, August 19th, when we finally get a brief window of cleaner conditions. That morning at Maravi, a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW (6 mph) cleans up the surface. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the NW, period still short at 7 seconds, and the combined energy is only 44 – that’s weak. But for a spot that’s fairly consistent and beginner-friendly, those glassy conditions will be the most user-friendly we’ll see in weeks. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Crowds are possible, but honestly, with surf this small, only the keenest will be out.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Tuesday morning, August 20th, and the following Saturday, August 22nd, also have light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is even smaller – just 2ft and 2ft – so don’t expect much. The rest of the period is a write-off: mostly cross-shore or onshore wind, tiny waves, and that short-period chop. For the more experienced crew, there’s nothing here that’ll get your heart racing. If you’ve got a kite, the stronger afternoon breezes from the WNW (12 mph) with that 3ft, 7-second chop might be more interesting than a paddle.
So, the standout – and really the only highlight – is that Monday morning, August 19th, at Maravi. Clean, small, and friendly for beginners. Everything else is a waiting game. Hang in there.
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.
