The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Vari over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing happening, so don’t be in a rush to wax up.
We kick off on Saturday, August 8th, and honestly, the surf is flat. Zero energy (0). The water’s sitting at a warm 78°, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s the only thing going for it. The wind is firing, but there’s no swell to work with. That pattern of clean, offshore winds and zero waves carries right through the next week. We get a decent offshore breeze most mornings, but it’s completely wasted. The afternoons get a bit gusty with a strong breeze, but again, no waves to push.
We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap here with no surf to speak of. The wind does turn glassy on the morning of Monday, August 17th, but still, no swell.
The only flicker of something happens on Monday afternoon, August 17th. A tiny 1ft swell sneaks in from the South, but it’s a short period of 2 seconds, so it’s messy and weak (combined energy of just 1). And to top it off, the wind is onshore, so it’s going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. Not worth paddling out for.
After that, we go right back to flat conditions. Glassy mornings and light winds, but zero swell through the rest of the period up to Sunday, August 23rd.
Look, I’d love to give you a standout, but there’s nothing here. For a spot like Vari, a blank run like this happens. It’s inconsistent, and when it’s flat, it’s flat. Don’t lose hope – forecasts can change, but right now, leave the boards in the garage.
Rusty.

Information about the Vari Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Vari provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Vari can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Vari 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 (Vari) 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 Vari 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.
