The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. I’ve been digging into the outlook for Vari, and it’s a bit of a dry spell. The next 16 days show a long stretch of flat water with no real surf. The first tickle of any wave energy doesn’t show up until Friday the 21st of August, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. So, get ready for a gap of nearly 12 days of nothing, with clean offshore winds blowing across a dead calm sea.
Come the morning of Friday the 21st of August, we finally see something. A tiny south swell appears at 0.7 ft, with a period of 4 seconds. That’s weak, short-period windswell, with a combined energy of just 1 (weak). The wind is offshore from the NNW at 15 km/h, so the surface will be clean, but the wave is so small and short it’s barely gonna break. The water sits at 78°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so the air’s warm even if the surf is dog meat.
Vari is a beginner spot that’s inconsistent and exposed to the south, which is where this tiny pulse is coming from. Crowds are sometimes here, but with conditions this poor, you’ll probably have the place to yourself. No standout here—just the only option after a long, flat run. The afternoon of the 21st goes flat again, and the rest of the weekend and into next week stays dead, with some glassy mornings and light offshore winds, but zero waves. This kind of blank run is more normal for the area when the swell is that absent.
Only hope is that forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled. For now, leave the board 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.
