The Lowdown
Alright, let me have a look at what's on offer here for Maravi over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it's a pretty flat and bleak run. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about. The first real sniff of anything rideable doesn't show up until Saturday the 29th of August, and even then, it's only just surfable.
For almost the entire first week and a half, it’s tiny. We’re talking ankle to shin-high dribble with periods so short (3 to 6 seconds) that there’s no push. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore for most of it, making it a messy, blown-out scene. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
The only day that even gets a mention is Saturday the 29th of August. The morning session is the pick. We’ll see a little bump in swell, coming up to about 3 feet from the WNW with a 7-second period. The combined energy is weak at 86, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The wind shifts to a clean cross-offshore from the SSW, blowing at a light 6 mph. That will clean it right up. It’s a beginner-friendly wave and fairly consistent, so if you’re just looking for a splash, it’s your window. Be aware, it can get a crowd here sometimes, so you won't be alone.
The afternoon on the 29th turns choppy again as the wind swings onshore, so stick to the morning if you’re keen. There are a couple of other mornings with glassy conditions on Monday the 25th and Wednesday the 3rd of September, but the swell is tiny (around 1 feet) with no energy. You might find a knee-high dribble if you’re desperate.
So, to sum it up: there’s a very long gap of nothing, then a single, average-quality morning on the 29th that is the only true standout. For everything else, you’re better off waiting for the next swell. The setup here, with the small, weak swell and frequent choppy wind, actually looks better suited for a kite than a paddle board for most of this period.

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.
