Best Forecast Surf Conditions for Vari this week:
The largest open ocean swell (not directed at the beach) is 0.5m 3s period and expected on Tuesday (Aug 25) at 9PM.
The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Vari. I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty flat. There’s no real swell to speak of, just tiny bumps that won’t get you excited.
The first glimmer of anything is on August 31st, with a tiny 0.3 ft from the south, but with a period of just 5 seconds – that’s barely a ripple. The combined energy is only (1), so it’s weak. You’d be wrestling with a strong breeze of 25 mph in the afternoon, so even that little bump won't be any fun. It’s a no-go.
Then there’s a minute pulse on September 4th – Friday afternoon – with 1.0 ft from the east-northeast, period of 3 seconds, and a combined energy of (2). Again, that’s not surf. It’s glassy that afternoon, but the swell simply isn’t there.
For the rest of the period, there’s nothing. We’re looking at a long, dry run. Vari is an inconsistent beginner spot that needs a south swell, and we’re just not getting it. The water’s a touch warmer than normal, sitting at 80°, but that’s small comfort when there’s no waves.
Honestly, for a paddle surfer, this is a blank stretch. If I was a kite surfer, I might look at the strong, clean offshore winds we’ll have on many days – like August 24th, 25th, 27th, and 28th with that fresh north-northeasterly breeze – but for a surfboard, you’re better off taking a long walk.

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.
