The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a bit of a write-off for Maravi. The swell is tiny and weak, the wind is mostly on it or cross, and there’s just no energy to get excited about. We’ve got a long, dry stretch with nothing worth paddling out for until the very end of the period. Let’s break it down.
From Monday the 24th of August all the way through to Friday the 5th of September, it’s a real struggle. The swell barely cracks 2ft, coming from the WNW with a short, weak period of 6-7 seconds. The combined energy is pitiful, sitting between 7 and 99 – that’s basically flat. The wind is mostly onshore out of the WNW or NW, or cross-off from the SW, but it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing to ride. Water temp is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first glimmer of something surfable shows up on Saturday the 6th of September in the morning. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the WNW, period stretching to 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 186 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the SSW, which is a decent look. It’s still just “surfable but very ordinary,” so don’t expect anything special. The afternoon turns onshore again, so mornings are your only window.
Monday the 7th of September morning offers a little more – 3ft, same WNW direction, 8-second period, energy at 83, and cross-off wind. Again, ordinary but rideable. After that, it drops right back to nothing for the rest of the period.
The standout here, if you can call it that, is the morning of Saturday the 6th of September. That’s the best on offer – a clean 4ft of WNW swell with light cross-off wind. It’s still small, but it’s the only time the energy feels like it’s got any push. Maravi is a fairly exposed beach break, consistent enough, but with the swell being this small and short period, the waves will be fat and weak. Beginners might find it manageable, but anyone with a shred of ambition will be disappointed.
Mate, it’s a tough outlook. The forecast can change, but right now, we’re looking at a long blank spell. Hang in there.
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.
