The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you: it’s been flat out here, and it stays that way for a long stretch. The good news is there’s nowhere to be, so you won’t miss a thing.
Looking at Vari, the whole sixteen-day window is a write-off for any proper surf. We kick off Saturday the 12th of September with absolutely nothing – zero combined swell energy (0). That doesn’t change for over a week. It’s just clear skies and cross-off breezes, but no wave to push you home. There’s a big gap of dead calm until we finally see a tiny pulse on Friday the 18th of September: a 0.3ft swell from the south, with a period of just 6 seconds. Combined energy is a miserable 1, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” That’s barely a ripple.
We get a couple of those 0.3ft days, but Saturday the 19th of September morning shows a moderate cross-shore with a cross-chop – not surfable. That afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the north at 19 mph, but again, it’s only a 0.3ft south swell. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
After that, it’s back to nothing. The 20th through the 27th is all zeros – clean skies, but flat as a lake. The water temp on that first Saturday was 79°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 4° anomaly, so keep that in mind if you’re just floating around.
Vari is an inconsistent beginner break that rarely breaks, and in this forecast window, it’s simply not breaking. A blank run like this is more normal for the area – nothing to get excited about. Check back in a week; forecasts can change.
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.
