The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. I’ve scanned the charts for your local break, and I won’t sugarcoat it—it’s a slim pickin’s kind of forecast. You’ll need to wait a good spell for anything worth wetting a wetsuit.
For the next week and a half, the surf is tiny. We’re talking ankle-biters from 1ft to 3ft, with periods of only 6 to 7 seconds—that’s just wind chop, not real swell. The combined energy is weak, staying under 100 (mostly between 15 and 85), so there’s zero power. Most afternoons are ruined by moderate onshore winds kicking up chop, and even the glassy calm mornings on Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have no swell to ride.
The one exception hits on Monday 17th of August. That morning at Maravi (Zambia), a 4ft WNW swell shows up with an 8-second period and combined energy of 176—that’s moderate, so there’s finally some juice. The morning wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW, which should clean up the faces nicely. It’s a small wave but rideable, and since this is a beginner-friendly spot, it’ll be a fun little session. After that, it drops back down, with a few clean mornings on the 19th and 20th but the swell already fading back to 3ft.
So, mark your calendar for Monday 17th of August. That morning is your best—and pretty much only—window for a paddle. The rest of the 16 days are a bust, so hang tight and hope the forecasts shift.
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.
