The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Vari over the next couple of weeks.
Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a bust for decent waves. We’re lookin’ at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of. The first real chance of anything comes on Friday the 11th, but even then it’s just a tiny pulse of 1ft swell from the south with a short period of 5 seconds. That’s barely enough to get a ripple goin’, and with cross-on winds, it’s gonna be messy. The energy is almost non-existent, just 8 to 13 (combined energy), so you’re not even gonna feel it.
Before that, from Thursday the 3rd right through to Thursday the 10th, it’s all zeros – flat as a pancake. The wind’s mostly offshore or glassy, so the water will look pretty, but there’s nothing to ride. That’s a whole week of no surf.
After that tiny pulse on the 11th, it drops right back to zero again. Saturday the 12th is glassy but flat, and then on Sunday the 13th we get a pathetic 0.7ft swell from the south with a 3-second period and energy of just 1. That’s not even a wave, that’s a ripple. The rest of the run from the 14th to the 18th stays flat, with some nice offshore or glassy conditions but no swell to go with ‘em.
The only break on offer is Vari itself. It’s a beginner spot, which is fine, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks. With the water temperature sittin’ at 80°, that’s a solid 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath. But with no waves, it doesn’t matter much.
The best of a bad bunch would be the Friday the 11th morning, if you’re desperate. Glassy conditions and a tiny bit of south swell, but it’s weak and short period. Honestly, for a surfer, there’s nothing here. If you’ve got a kite, though, that afternoon on the 11th with some cross-on wind and a bit of chop might be more interestin’ than paddlin’ out.
This is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area. It tends not to stay poor for long, but right now, the ocean’s takin’ a holiday.
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.
