The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Vari over the next couple of weeks. I'm gonna be straight with you – this is a tough one. The chart's been painted in the same colour for days and days: flat.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s just nothing in the ocean for paddle surfing. We have a long stretch from now until the 12th of September with zero surf. A complete blank. Just clear skies and a whole lot of nothing. The wind will be onshore or cross-offshore a lot of the time, which wouldn't help anyway.
Then, around the morning of the 12th of September we finally see a blip. A tiny 1.0ft swell from the south with a period of 5 seconds. That's weak, short-period windswell, barely registering an energy value of (5). It's poor surf conditions, a score of 0 out of 10. The water temp in Vari is sitting at 79°, which for the time of year is a touch warmer than normal. But you won't feel it while you're sitting on a flat board.
The only break listed for Vari is, well, Vari. It's a beginner spot that’s inconsistent and rarely breaks, exposed to the south. For that tiny south pulse on the 12th and 13th, the morning winds start off light offshore from the NNW or even glassy, but it simply doesn't matter because there's no energy in the water. The swell is too small and weak to ride.
After that brief, tiny pulse, the ocean goes back to dead flat on the 14th and 15th of September. For this region, a blank run like this is pretty normal when there are no recommendations.
To be brutally honest, there are no standout days. There’s no wave to get excited about. If the wind and swell aren't bringing you anything, there's nothing to recommend. I wish I had better news, but that's the long and the short of it.
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.
