The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. This is a tough one to call. The entire 16-day outlook for Vari is basically a ghost town for surf. Not a single wave of consequence shows up until the tail end of the forecast.
We start from Sunday, 23 August, and it's a long, dry spell. Day after day of flat, clean conditions thanks to light offshore breezes, but absolutely no swell to work with. The wind is often offshore or light, which would be a dream if there was any ocean energy, but the combined energy is a flat zero (0) right through to the end of the first week. The water is sitting at 80°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be getting wet for a surf.
This blank run stretches all the way through the first week of September. You’re looking at a solid two-week gap with zero recommendations. It’s a real bummer, but for this area, a stretch like this isn't entirely unusual. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled, but right now, the ocean is having a nap.
Finally, on Monday, 7 September, something stirs. A tiny pulse of swell arrives. The only break in the game is Vari itself. It's an inconsistent spot that's exposed to the south, and this little bump is from the south. The morning shows a 1.0 ft swell with a period of 5 seconds, which is super short and weak. The combined energy is a pathetic 5. The wind is a clean offshore breeze from the north at 9 mph, so it'll be glassy, but the waves are tiny, weak, and really only for beginners. The afternoon fades to even smaller 0.3 ft waves going glassy with an easterly breeze.
Honestly, there's nothing to get excited about here. This is not a standout. If you're desperate for a paddle, the morning of Monday, 7 September is your only shot, but don't expect much. It's a long wait for a very small reward.
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.
