The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get honest about what we’re looking at for the next 16 days.
Well, I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough one. The data is showing a big, fat zero for surf across the entire 16-day window. From Thursday the 23rd of July all the way through to Friday the 7th of August, there’s simply no swell on offer at Vari. The combined wave energy is sitting at 0 for every single session in that period. That’s a long, flat gap with no recommendations.
The only break we’ve got to talk about is Vari itself. It’s an exposed, south-facing spot that’s inconsistent and really needs a solid S direction swell to wake up. There’s no swell coming from that direction at all, so it’s just not going to work. The water temperature is a notable 81°, which is a whopping 5° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s much warmer than normal, but it doesn’t help with the lack of waves.
So, for the first week, we’ve got Thursday afternoon with a cross-shore ENE breeze at 16 mph, and then Friday morning, the 24th, goes glassy with a NNE breeze at 3 mph, but it’s flat. Saturday the 25th sees a fresh offshore NNW wind at 19 mph, which would be prime for a clean session, but there’s nothing to ride. Sunday the 26th is light and cross-offshore from the N at 6 mph, but still, nothing. Through the rest of the week, we get a few windows of glassy conditions (Monday the 27th morning with a light WNW at 3 mph) and some clean offshore stretches (Wednesday the 29th morning with a strong N at 22 mph), but it’s all for nothing without a wave.
As we head into the second week, the pattern stays the same. From Saturday the 1st of August onward, we’re looking at mostly clear skies, strong offshore to cross-offshore winds from the N and NNE, blowing at 25 to 28 mph. That’s strong enough to blow the foam off a flat ocean. It stays clean but empty, right through to the morning of Friday the 7th of August, where we finally see a lighter offshore NNW breeze at 9 mph. Still, no swell.
This is one of those rare, blank runs that can happen here. It’s a bit of a shocker, but forecasts can change. For now, there’s zero to recommend. Don’t bother paddling out. Keep an eye on the charts, and I’ll be back when there’s something worth shouting about.
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.
