The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and I’ve looked over the next couple of weeks. Let’s be honest – it’s flat. Real flat. There’s a long, quiet gap ahead, and hardly any surf to speak of.
Right now, nothing’s happening. The first real chance won’t come until Thursday, September 3rd, and even then it’s just barely surfable. That’s a solid week and a half of nothing. From now through the end of August, the swell barely reaches 3 ft, the period is short (5–8 seconds), and the combined energy is weak (18–66). The wind is messy, mostly cross or onshore, with a few glassy mornings that have no power behind them. It’s a ghost town.
Our only spot is Maravi. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s fairly exposed to the swell. The water is about 85°F – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 3°F above average. That’s notable, but won’t help the waves.
The best shot in the whole outlook is Thursday, September 3rd, morning. The swell hits 3 ft from the WNW, with an 8-second period and combined energy of 94 (weak). The wind is SSW at 9 mph, clean and cross-offshore. That’s the only moment where the report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout – it’s the only option. The swell direction is WNW and Maravi’s best direction is SW, so not a perfect match. The waves will be small, but the wind will keep them clean. For a beginner, it might be worth a look. Expect no crowds.
After that, Friday morning September 4th gives a similar 3 ft with clean cross-off winds, but the energy drops to 75, and it’s still ordinary. The rest of the period fades into tiny, weak, onshore slop. By the second week, it’s down to 1–1 ft with 5-second periods. Not worth the drive.
So, it’s slim. One or two mornings in early September with clean, knee-high waves. If you’re a beginner and want to get wet, mark Thursday September 3rd. Otherwise, leave the board at home.

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.
