The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good hard look at what’s on the table for Maravi over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle session.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing doing. The first solid hint of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Saturday the 25th of July. Before that, from now until Friday the 24th, it’s all tiny dribble and poor conditions. The swell is hanging around 1ft to 2ft with short, weak periods of 5 to 7 seconds, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, putting a chop on it. You’d be wasting your time.
That Saturday morning, the 25th of July, is the only real glimmer in this whole forecast. The swell bumps up a touch to 3ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds. Now, that’s not going to win any awards, but the combined swell energy hits a moderate 114, which is the strongest we’ll see. The real treat is the wind: a light 6 mph breeze from the south is blowing cross-offshore. That’s going to clean up what little wave there is. For a beginner spot that’s fairly consistent, you might actually find a few weak ones to learn on. Just keep in mind the water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that Saturday morning, we’re right back into the doldrums for the rest of the 16-day window. Swells drop back under 3ft, the wind gets messy again, and the scores drop to zero. There are a few moments with glassy conditions on Monday the 27th of July and Monday the 3rd of August, but with the swell only at 2ft and 2ft respectively, it won't be enough to ride.
Honestly, this is a tough one. If you’re desperate for a paddle, roll the dice on Saturday the 25th of July morning, but keep the expectations low. This area is having a quiet spell.
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.
