The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at this one. The next 16 days are pretty quiet for Vari. It’s the kind of stretch where the ocean just flat-lines, and the only thing breaking is the wind. The water temp is sitting at 27° with a big anomaly of 2° warmer than usual – that’s well above average for this time of year, so a wetsuit is off the cards for sure.
We start right now, Wednesday 26th August, and there’s nothing. No swell, no surf. Same deal Thursday, Friday, all the way through the weekend and into next week. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, and the sky is clear, but it doesn’t matter because there’s no swell to work with. The combined energy is zero (0) right through. This is a total blank run.
The first faint sign of life shows up on Wednesday 9th September, with a tiny 0.2m swell from the south with a period of 4 seconds. That’s not really surfable, just a little ripple. Combined energy is barely a 2. It’s rideable on a longboard if you’re desperate, but it’s not a recommendation. Then on Thursday 10th September, it drops back to zero again.
Honestly, there’s nothing on offer. Vari is exposed to the south, and the optimum swell direction is south, but we just don’t get the size. For this stretch, the forecast is about as quiet as it gets. The wind is clean, but it’s a waste of good conditions. The only positive I can say is that when it’s this flat, it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, you’re better off finding another hobby until something shows up.

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.
