The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for the Maravi area.
I gotta be honest, this forecast is a bit of a bummer. We're lookin' at a long, quiet spell. The water's a warm 85°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're bobbin' around.
The first little flicker of hope comes on Tuesday morning, September 1st, but it's a real "maybe" situation. We're talkin' a tiny 3 ft swell from the WNW, a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is weak at 74. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it's not doing us any favors. It's more of a "grab the log and see what happens" than a planned session.
Things perk up a bit on the morning of Tuesday, September 8th. The swell climbs to 3 ft from the WNW, still with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 111. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so the surface might be okay. It's still a marginal call, but it's the best we've got in the whole 16-day window. If you're a beginner, this might be your best shot at a small, clean wave at Maravi.
For the rest of the forecast, it's a long, slow decline into tiny, weak slop with a lot of onshore wind. We do get a few glassy mornings, like Thursday, September 3rd, and Wednesday, September 9th, but the swell is just too small – we're talkin' 1 ft to 2 ft with combined energy barely crackin' 50. Not enough to wrap a wave around. It's a pretty bleak outlook for a decent paddle.
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.
