The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Well, it's a slow start. The wave energy is barely a whisper, with the combined swell reading only 12 at the start. We're looking at a real dry spell. From Tuesday the 4th right through until the middle of next week, the surf is pretty much non-existent. Tiny swell, messy wind, and poor conditions. It's a long stretch of flatness.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Sunday morning, August 9th. The swell is still tiny, only 3ft from the WNW, but the wind turns light and cross-offshore, cleaning things right up. The combined energy is only 70, so it's weak, but you'll find some clean, rideable little waves at Maravi. It's a beginner-friendly break, so if you're just keen to get out, this is your best bet for a while. Crowds are "sometimes" a thing there, but on a day like this, it'll be quiet.
The next little window is on Saturday morning, August 15th. Same story – 3ft from the WNW, clean again with a cross-offshore breeze. The energy is low at 56. It's "surfable but very ordinary." You'll get some waves, but you'll have to work for them.
The last chance in this forecast is Tuesday morning, August 18th. The swell bumps up a little to 3ft from the NW, and it's glassy calm. The combined energy is 64. *Maravi* is the only spot showing, and it'll be small again, but the conditions will be perfect. It's a long way out, so it's a "maybe," but it's something to put on the calendar.
So, look: if you're a beginner or just want to bob around and get some clean small waves, the mornings of the 9th, 15th, or 18th are your go. For anyone wanting real surf, this is a waiting game. The water is about average for this time of year, so you'll still need a good wetsuit.
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.
