The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's looking pretty bleak. We've got a solid 16-day window here, but there's not a single day where the swell shows up. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a flat zero (0) for the entire run, so we're talking about a big, empty ocean. From July 24th right through to August 8th, there's nothing to ride. That's a long stretch of quiet water.
The first spot I’d normally point you to is Vari. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but it's inconsistent and rarely breaks, and right now, it's not breaking at all. For what it's worth, the water temperature on July 24th is sitting at 80°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual, like swimming in a bath.
We do get plenty of offshore winds, especially on the mornings. For instance, on the morning of July 26th, we have glassy conditions with a 3 mph wind from the north, and the morning of July 27th and July 28th are clean too. But without a single ripple of swell, it's just a beautiful, flat pond. The wind is there, but there's no energy to push against.
Because there's no swell, none of the breaks are consistent. A blank run like this is more or less normal for the area when the weather patterns set up like this. It's not a great outlook, but forecasts can change. For now, save your energy and wax. This is a kitesurfer's dream, with those strong offshore winds on the afternoons, but for a paddle surfer, it's a stay-at-home week.
Keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath.
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.
