The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Gotta tell it like it is – this forecast is a rough read. Over the next 16 days, right through to August 8, there’s not a single session at Maravi worth your time. Every entry says poor surf conditions. You’re looking at a total dry spell. For this area, a blank run like this isn’t totally weird – sometimes the ocean just shuts down for a stretch. Water temp is sitting around 84°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The only pulse of size comes Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th, with wave heights around 4ft to 6ft and combined energy hitting moderate levels (370 on Saturday morning). But the wind is crummy – cross-shore and cross-onshore – and the period is short, 8 seconds or less. That means choppy, messy waves with no shape. Saturday morning is over 5ft, so beginners should stay out, but even for the experienced crew, it’s junk. Swell direction is WNW, but Maravi’s best direction is SW, so the exposure is off. No standout there.
From Monday the 28th onward, it drops way off. Heights fall to 1ft to 2ft, combined energy barely scraping into double digits. A few mornings do turn glassy – like Tuesday the 28th and Sunday morning August 2 – but with next to no swell, it’s flat. Light winds and clean surface are nice for a paddle, not a surf. Period stays short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so there’s no power.
First week of August, same story. Mornings clean up on the 3rd and 5th with glassy or cross-off winds, but only 2ft of weak, short-period WNW swell. Energy values are tiny (25 or 21). This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – those stronger afternoon cross-onshore breezes with small chop could give a kite rider something to play with, but for a surfer, it’s a flat blank.
Bottom line: save the wax. There are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. It’s a quiet spell, and forecasts can shift, but for now, this stretch is a total wash. Keep watching – these runs don’t stick around forever. 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.
