The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s happening. I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s gonna be a long wait. The charts are showing nothing but flat lines and poor surf conditions for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a solid stretch of days with zero to ride, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
The first real sign of life is tucked away right at the tail end of the outlook, on Thursday afternoon, the 17th of September. Even then, it’s barely a whisper. We’re talking a tiny 0.3ft south swell, with a short, weak period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is next to nothing, just a measly 1. The only saving grace is the wind, which will be a clean cross-offshore breeze. That’s all that’s on offer in the entire 16-day window, a tiny, inconsistent bump that’s more of a hope than a plan.
Given the persistent northerly winds and the total lack of swell for 99% of the period, the only place you could even think about having a look is Vari. But don’t get your hopes up. This spot is a beginner-level wave that rarely breaks, and even when that tiny south pulse shows, it’s barely a ripple. The water temperature is sitting at 80° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 5° above the average.
Honestly, with this kind of extended flat spell, it’s looking more interesting for a kite than a surfboard if you’re desperate for a session. Things like this happen here, so don't sweat it too much. Keep an eye out, forecasts can change.
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.
