The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you: there’s nothing happening for a while. The whole 16-day window for Vari is a flat, empty ocean. Not a single ripple worth paddling for. We’ve got zero swell energy (0) across every session from Wednesday the 2nd right through to Thursday the 17th of September. That’s over two weeks of no surf – a real tough stretch for this spot.
Vari (United States) is an inconsistent, beginner-friendly break that’s exposed to the south, but without any swell, none of that matters. The winds are mostly cross-off or offshore, which would be perfect if there were waves, but there aren’t any. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but you won’t be in the water anyway.
For a stretch of about ten days from the 2nd, you’ll see clear skies and moderate to fresh breezes, but it’s just a blank ocean. A couple of mornings, like the 11th, turn glassy with light NNW airs, and the 12th afternoon goes glassy too – heartbreakingly perfect conditions with zero surf. Even the offshore winds on the 13th, 14th, and 16th mornings can’t make something out of nothing.
There are no standouts, no best options, nothing to get excited about. This is one of those blank runs that’s normal for the area when the swell just doesn’t show up. Keep the board waxed and stay tuned – forecasts can change, but right now, this is as poor as it gets.
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.
