Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. We’re looking at a long 16-day stretch for Rabbit/Manana Island, and I gotta warn you – it’s a tough one. Nearly every day we’ve got a strong cross-onshore wind from the ENE, blowing at 25 to 40 km/h. That wind is going to chop up any chance of clean waves. The swell sticks around 5ft to 7ft, but it’s all short-period, mostly 7 seconds, so there’s no real grunt or shape. The combined wave energy is moderate, hitting 404 on Friday morning and peaking at 596 on Sunday afternoon (July 12), but with those winds, it’s just a messy, lumpy battle. Honestly, this setup looks better for kite surfing than for a paddle surfer. There are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window – a total blank run from Friday, July 10, right through to Saturday, July 25. No standouts at all. Water temp is about 79°F, normal for this time of year, but you won’t be enjoying it. The whole forecast is a write-off. Forecasts can turn, but right now, the waves here are just angry and ugly. Take the week off.

A general guide to surfing at Rabbit/Manana Island can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Rabbit/Manana Island 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.
