The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where you might want to take up golf for a fortnight. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle, with only a couple of fleeting moments that even get close to being surfable, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
Forget about any proper swell for the first week. From Sunday the 13th right through to the end of the week, it’s tiny, weak energy (mostly 12 to 69 in the combined energy) and those little 1 to 3 ft waves are mostly coming from the NW with a short, weak period of 5 to 7 seconds. The mornings do offer some glassy conditions – like on Tuesday the 15th with calm winds – but the swell is just too small and gutless to get excited about. It’s a flat spell with no real recommendation.
Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th mornings are the closest we get to a highlight, but that’s not saying much. The break here is Maravi. We’re looking at a 3 ft NW swell, a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy of 69 (moderate). The morning winds are glassy on Wednesday with a calm sea, and glassy again Thursday with a slight air from the S. It’s surfable, but the conditions are described as very ordinary. The water is sitting at a noticeably warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This spot is fairly consistent and fairly exposed to the swell, and it works best with a SW direction, not the NW we’re getting. Still, if you’re desperate, a clean 3 ft wave on a glassy morning is better than a day at work.
Then we hit another massive gap. From Thursday afternoon right through until the end of the period, it’s back to tiny, poor surf. The combined energy drops right off to single digits and low double digits. There is a flicker on Sunday the 27th morning when the swell finally pushes up to 4 ft from the NW with a 7-second period and combined energy hitting 122 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the SE and it’s clean. That’s the best looking window, but it’s over a week away and the swell direction is still not ideal for the spot. After that, it’s back to choppy, onshore slop.
Honestly, if you’re a kitesurfer, those afternoons with onshore NW winds and a bit of chop might look more interesting than anything for a paddle board. For the rest of us, it’s 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.
