The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. I’ve gotta be straight with you—there’s absolutely no surf on offer across the whole 16-day outlook for the Vari area. Every single session from Monday the 17th of August right through to Tuesday the 1st of September shows zero swell, nothing but flat lines and poor surf conditions. That’s a solid 16-day blank run.
Vari itself is an exposed beach break that only works on a south swell, but we’ve got no swell reaching it at all. The water temperature is sitting at 78°, which is about 1° warmer than the long-term average—pretty normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Without a single ridge of energy (combined energy reading 0), there’s nothing for any surfers—beginners or experts—to even paddle out for. The winds are often light or glassy, with some offshore mornings, especially from the 20th onwards, but without swell it’s just a pretty-looking lake. A few afternoons have onshore breezes, but again, no waves to mess up.
This kind of dead spell is more normal for this area when the swell direction isn’t cooperating. Keep an eye on the charts though—it tends not to stay poor forever, and forecasts can shift. For now, leave the board in the car and maybe go for a swim.
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.
