The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Vari over the next couple of weeks. I’m gonna be straight with you: this is a tough run.
The whole 16-day window looks pretty flat. For a spot like Vari, which is an exposed south-facing beginner break, it can sometimes go through these quiet spells. The very first record shows Tuesday the 14th with absolutely no rideable swell and a combined energy of 0 – that’s as quiet as it gets. The water’s sitting at 78°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, the drought stretches on. For over a week straight, from the 14th through to the 22nd of July, there’s essentially nothing. Early on we get a tiny 2ft easterly bump Tuesday afternoon, but it’s only 3 seconds of period – that’s pure chop. No substance at all. The wind does offer some clean windows, like the glassy conditions on the afternoon of Sunday the 19th, but without any swell, it’s a lake.
We don’t see a pulse until Monday morning, July 20th, when a slight 0.7ft southerly shows up with 4 seconds of period and combined energy of just 1. That’s weak, weak, weak. Still, you could get your feet wet on a foam board if you’re learning. Through the rest of the third week and into the end of the month, from the 21st to the 29th, there’s not a single decent wave. The wind often blows strong offshore or cross-off from the north, which would clean things up if there were any swell, but we’re staring at zeros across the board.
There simply isn’t one standout session in this whole outlook. No break to highlight. The setup is more suited to a paddleboard or a swim than a surfboard right now. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because these blank spells don’t tend to last forever, but for now, be ready to take a raincheck.
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.
