The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is – this whole 16-day forecast is flat out empty for surf.
Starting Sunday, July 26th, and going all the way to Monday, August 10th, the combined wave energy is zero (0) every single time. That’s a long stretch with nothing on offer.
The only break in sight is Vari. It’s a beginner break, it’s inconsistent, and rarely breaks anyway, so a run like this isn’t surprising for this spot. The water temp is sitting at about 80°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t mean much when there’s no swell.
Monday the 27th starts glassy but flat. Tuesday the 28th afternoon shows a tiny 1ft bump from the ENE with a period of 3 seconds – basically useless. From Wednesday the 29th onward, winds turn strong and offshore, keeping the water clean, but no swell ever fills in.
No standouts, no reason to paddle out. If you’ve got a kite, those clean northerly winds from Thursday, July 30th onward might be your thing, but for surfers, this is a total dry spell. Forecasts can turn, but for now, it’s a long 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.
