The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for ya. I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the local scoop for Maravi. It’s looking like a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The water is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – no big drama there.
Right now and through the next few days, don’t get your hopes up. From Thursday the 23rd all the way through to the end of July, the conditions are pretty grim. We’re looking at a long run of poor surf and onshore or cross-shore winds, so the waves will be all over the place. The swell is small and weak, with only around 1ft to 4ft of short-period junk, and the combined energy is barely 57 to 344 (weak to moderate at best). It’s not worth paddling out for this.
There is a bit of a glimmer on Monday morning, July 27th. The wind goes glassy – that’s a big plus – and the swell is about 4ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. Combined energy is 161 (moderate). But honestly, even then, it’s only “surfable” and the wave quality is described as ordinary. That’s the best of a pretty average bunch.
Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are back to rubbish. Very small waves – 1ft to 2ft – and the period drops to 5 or 6 seconds, so no power. The combined energy is pitifully low (7 to 71). Hardly a ripple.
Then we get a bit of a reprieve on Friday morning, July 31st. A clean morning with a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW, swell 2ft from the WNW at 8 seconds. Again, it’s ordinary, but at least the wind is right. Combined energy only 57, so don’t expect much push.
The first week of August isn’t looking any better. We’ve got more of the same: small waves, mostly onshore winds, and very low energy. Sunday morning August 2nd and Monday morning August 3rd have glassy conditions again, with tiny 2ft to 2ft swell, but the energy is just 32 to 59. Barely surfable. By Tuesday and Wednesday it’s back to zilch.
If I had to point to one standout, it’s that glassy Monday morning on July 27th – clean waves, no wind, and the biggest swell of the whole forecast at 4ft. But don’t expect a classic session. For a beginner spot like Maravi, which is fairly consistent and fairly exposed to a SW optimum, this lack of consistent swell and poor wind is a bummer. The early August mornings might offer a tiny window if you’re desperate, but overall, it’s a quiet 16 days.
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.
