The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this stretch of the Vari coast is dead flat for the entire 16-day window. The data shows nothing but zeros for combined swell energy from now through to the end of the month. There isn't a single wave recommendation to grab onto. It’s a total blank.
We have consistent offshore and cross-offshore winds from the north-northwest through the first week, and even a few glassy calm mornings on August 18th and 24th. The water temperature is sitting at about 79°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. All the ingredients are there for perfect conditions *if* there was any swell, but there just isn't. The ocean is flat.
This kind of prolonged drought can happen here. It’s not unusual for the area to go through these quiet spells. With no sign of any energy on the horizon, you’re looking at a solid two weeks without a single ridable wave. The wind will keep the surface clean, but there's nothing to surf. If the wind picks up strong enough on those breezier afternoons, the setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, but for us wave riders, it's a time to clean your gear and wait.
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.
