The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a rough run for the spot. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing to get excited about for a good while.
Right off the bat, the entire first week plus some is a total write-off. From Friday the 7th of August all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 21st of August, there’s just no surf to speak of. Nada. Zero. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a flat zero (0) for days on end. The wind is blowing offshore or cross-offshore a lot of the time, which would be a dream if there was any swell, but there isn’t. It’s just clean and flat. Water temp is sitting at 78° which is about average for the time of year, so at least a paddle won’t be cold, but you’ll be doing it on a lake.
The only glimmer we get is on the morning of Friday the 21st of August. Now, this is over two weeks away, so take it with a pinch of salt, but a tiny pulse shows up. We’re talking a 0.7 ft swell from the south with a period of just 3 seconds – that’s barely a ripple. Combined energy is a measly 1 (one). The wind is a light cross-off from the NW, so it’ll be clean, but honestly, this is for the dedicated beginner (Vari is a beginner spot after all) looking to float around. It’s not a wave you’d drive for.
The morning of Saturday the 22nd of August is glassy, but again, no swell to work with. It’s another flat one.
So, bottom line: there’s no standout session here. Not one. The entire 16-day window is a bust for surf. For this area, a blank run like this happens. It’s one of those times where you leave the boards in the shed and go do something else. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a solid no-go.
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.
