The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into what we've got on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole picture, it's a pretty flat and frustrating run ahead. We're staring down a long stretch of small, weak waves that just aren't going to offer much for a surfer looking for a proper session. The energy just isn't there.
The first real chance of anything rideable pops up on Saturday, the 29th of August. Even then, we're only talking about a 2ft swell from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 49. The morning looks best with a light cross-shore breeze, but don't expect much push. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick suit.
Before that, from now right through until the 29th, it's a total write-off. We're looking at tiny 1ft to 2ft slop with short periods and hardly any energy – the combined energy figures are mostly in the single digits or low twenties. Not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 30th of August is similar, with 2ft swell and clean conditions in the morning, but again, the energy is low at 26. Then we're back to tiny, glassy but gutless waves on the 31st and into September.
The only real standout in this entire 16-day window is Maravi. It's a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot, and it's fairly exposed to the swell. The optimum direction is from the SW, and our swell is coming from the WNW, so it's not a perfect match. For the best of a bad bunch, the morning of Saturday the 29th is your pick. A 2ft WNW swell with a light cross-shore wind and moderate energy (49). It's not much, but it's the most we're going to see. Keep in mind that with such small, short-period swell, the waves will be weak and crumbly. The crowd situation is "sometimes" at Maravi, so you might have some company for these small waves.
That's the long and short of it. A lot of flatness to sit through for one slightly less flat morning. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's looking like a waiting game.
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.
