The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let me level with you about Maravi. Straight up, it's been a tough run for this stretch and it's gonna stay tough for a fair while. We're looking at a long, dry spell here – more than two weeks of nothing worth paddling out for. It's one of those frustrating patterns where you just gotta wait it out or find something else to do.
The only real glimmer in the whole 16-day window is Monday morning, the 31st of August. Now, "glimmer" is the right word. The data says we'll see a 3ft swell out of the west-northwest with an 8-second period – that's short, onshore wind swell, not groundswell. The combined swell energy is weak at best, reading only 130. The good news? A light, cross-offshore wind from the south-southwest should keep things clean with a little shape. But don't kid yourself, it's only gonna be "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot that's sometimes exposed, it's the best we've got all period.
Before that, Thursday the 27th through to Sunday the 30th is a write-off. Tiny, weak swell and bad wind directions. Sunday the 30th actually sees a bump in swell – 6ft out of the WNW in the morning – but it's getting hammered by a cross-onshore W wind at 16 mph, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is moderate (493) but it's all for nothing with that wind.
After that Monday morning, we're straight back to flat or near-flat conditions with tiny, weak, short-period wind swell for the rest of the run right through to Friday the 11th of September. A few mornings show glassy or clean conditions – like Saturday the 5th, Sunday the 6th, and Wednesday the 9th – but the swell is pathetic, barely 2ft to 2ft. You'd be hard-pressed to get wet, let alone catch a wave.
Bottom line: if you absolutely need to get in the water, Monday morning the 31st of August is your only real chance. It won't be pretty, but it's clean and rideable. Other than that, the boards stay in the shed. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, it's a long wait.
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.
