The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Vari is pretty much a bust for any decent surf. The finder shows zero recommendations for the whole stretch, and the guidance tells us the spot is inconsistent and a beginner break. It’s not a surprise for a setup like this; when the swell doesn’t come, it just doesn’t come.
We’ve got a long, blank run from Friday 17 July right through to the end of the month. The first bit of anything showing up on the charts is a tiny 0.7ft ripple from the south on Thursday 23 July morning, but that’s barely a bump and the combined energy is a measly 2. Pulling in with a 4-second period, it’s just wind chop, not surf. Then we see another similar 0.7ft S swell on Monday 27 July morning, again with a 4-second period and energy of just 1. Nothing to get excited about. The best we get is a 1.0ft from the SSW on Tuesday 28 July afternoon, but with a 2-second period, it’s not even worth paddling for.
The water temp is a notable 79°F, which is about 4°F warmer than average for this time of year – that’s seriously warm, almost like a bath. But with no wave energy to speak of, it’s just a warm swim.
The wind is often offshore or glassy, especially on the mornings, and the afternoons are mostly clean or glassy too. After the 22nd, we get a few mornings with gentle offshore breezes. But clean conditions don’t mean a thing with no waves. The swell is simply absent. The good news? Forecasts change, and a run like this is pretty normal for an inconsistent spot. Don’t hang up your boardshorts just yet. For now, it’s a flat spell, pure and simple.
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.
