The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Maravi over the next couple of weeks.
Mate, I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Maravi is a real struggle. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell with poor conditions. The wave energy is consistently low, with the combined energy reading just 25 (weak) to start, and it barely climbs above 80 (weak) even at its best. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 85°, but that’s the only good news.
We kick off on Tuesday, August 11th, with a tiny 2ft swell from the NW and a 6-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the N at 6 mph, making it messy. The afternoon is even worse with onshore wind. Wednesday the 12th has a brief moment of calm – a glassy morning with the wind from the SW at 3 mph, but the swell is still a pathetic 2ft and the period is short. It's just not worth paddling out for.
The pattern continues through the week. The swell sticks around 1ft to 2ft, wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the energy is weak. We get a few clean windows with glassy conditions on the 20th, 21st, and 23rd of August, but the swell is minuscule – 2ft to 2ft with a short period. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
The only glimmer of hope comes on Monday, August 24th. The morning sees a slight bump to 3ft from the WNW with a 7-second period, and the wind is a light cross-on from the WSW at 3 mph. The combined energy climbs to 59 (weak), making it a "marginal" call. The water is still clean, but it's small and weak. That's the best of a bad bunch, but honestly, it's still a tough sell for a surf.
In summary, expect a lot of flat days with very little to get excited about. The forecast can change, but right now, you're better off keeping the board in the car.
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.
