The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with nothing to get excited about. From now through to the 13th of September, there's just no surf to speak of. The combined energy is sitting at 0 for days on end. It's a proper blank run. The wind is often offshore or glassy, so the conditions would be clean if there was any swell, but there just isn't. We've got a few days of glassy mornings around the 7th and 8th that would be perfect if there was a wave, but it's a waiting game.
There's a tiny flicker of life on the morning of Monday the 14th of September. Vari (Big Island) might see a tiny 0.7 ft S swell with a short period of 4 seconds and a combined energy of just 1 (weak). With a light offshore N wind at 3 mph, it would be clean, but honestly, that's barely a ripple. It's inconsistent and really only for the beginner crew desperate for a paddle.
After that, it's back to the same old story – flat and clean, then flat and choppy, right through to the end of the outlook on the 20th of September. There's a bit of rain forecast for the morning of the 20th, but with no swell, it doesn't matter.
So, the honest truth? There's nothing to recommend as a standout. It's a long stretch of poor surf. The water temperature isn't mentioned in the data, so I can't tell you if it's warmer or colder than usual for this time of year, but it's not going to matter much if you're just sitting on a flat ocean. Keep your board waxed and check back next week, because the forecasts can change. This is a normal blank run for this area.
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.
