The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Vari. Straight up, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – there’s nothing on offer for the next two weeks. Not a single day with any real surf to speak of. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell, so you’re looking at a solid gap from now all the way through to the end of the forecast. There’s no swell energy coming in – the combined energy sits at 0 for most of it, and even the odd reading we get, like 1 or 2, is basically nothing. The water temperature’s running at 79° which is about 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s notably warm, but it won’t help you catch a wave.
Vari itself is an inconsistent beginner spot that only works on a southerly swell, and we’re not seeing any of that. A few mornings we get clean conditions with light offshore or cross-off winds from the north-northeast, but with zero swell, it’s just a flat, pretty-looking ocean. Thursday the 17th morning there’s a hint of a 0.3 ft south swell with a 7-second period, but that’s barely a ripple – combined energy of 1, so don’t bother. The afternoon of the 18th and the morning of the 19th turn glassy, but again, flat as a pancake.
After that, the wind picks up – strong northerly breezes through the 20s and into the 28th, gusting 25-28 mph at times, with cross-off conditions keeping the surface clean but still no swell. It’s the kind of setup that looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’re into that. But for a surfer? There’s nothing to ride. This is a normal blank run for the area when the swell windows don’t line up. It won’t stay poor forever, but for now, leave the boards at home. 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.
