The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Maravi. It’s a pretty quiet couple of weeks, mate. The first week is a total write-off – flat to tiny, junky surf with no real energy. The water is sitting at about 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real chance of anything surfable comes on Saturday, 30 August – but it’s barely a ripple. Sunday morning might see a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW, with a short period of 8 seconds, so not much grunt. The wind is light from the NNW, so it’s clean onshore early, but the energy is weak (82). It’s a beginner-friendly spot, and fairly consistent, but honestly, this is barely a paddle.
The next morning, Monday, 31 August, is glassy with a 1ft swell from the WNW – tiny, weak, and not worth a trip. The pattern stays small into the first week of September. We get a few cleaner mornings, like Tuesday, 1 September, with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 2ft swell, but again, it’s really small.
The best on offer in the whole 16-day window looks like Wednesday morning, 2 September. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW, period at 8 seconds, and the wind is light cross-offshore from the SW. The energy is moderate (135), and the conditions are clean. It’s still not huge, but it’s the most push we’ll see. The swell direction is WSW, which is okay for this spot. Crowds are possible here, so you might have some company. The waves are still ordinary, but it’s the pick of the litter.
Thursday, 3 September, morning is also clean with a 3ft swell from the WNW, but it’s even weaker. The rest of the run into the second week is a mix of tiny, glassy mornings and onshore afternoons, with nothing breaking the 3ft mark in a meaningful way. The combined energy stays under 100 for most of it, so it’s weak and messy.
Overall, there’s a long gap of poor surf until that Wednesday morning, 2 September, and even then, it’s not a standout. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, keep the board in the bag.
Stay wet,
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.
