Table - best surf conditions forecast for Vari over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one to write. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window for Vari, and I’ve got to be honest: there’s nothing to get excited about. The forecast is showing a big fat zero for surf energy across the entire period. We’re looking at a complete blank run from now until at least the 27th of July.
The Full Picture:
The weather looks clear, but that’s about the only good news. The swell is completely absent. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a flat 0. There’s simply no wave height to speak of for the entire outlook. The wind does offer some glassy moments, like on the afternoon of the 12th, and the morning of the 20th, but without any swell, it’s like having a perfect empty parking lot – no action.
The water temp is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s no comfort with no waves.
The Breakdown:
From the 12th through to the 27th of July, every single session is marked as “poor surf conditions.” The wind varies from light breezes to fresh and strong breezes, with some cross-off and even glassy conditions, but it’s all for nothing. There’s a period of windy conditions from the 23rd to the 27th, with winds hitting 34 mph on the 24th, but again, there’s no swell to push around.
The Verdict:
Honestly, for a spot like Vari, which is exposed to the south and inconsistent at the best of times, a run like this isn’t totally abnormal. It tends not to stay poor for long, but this is a solid 16-day flat spell. If you’re a surfer, hang the board up. If you’re a kite surfer, even you’re out of luck – there’s no swell and the wind isn’t consistent enough to recommend it. This is a total washout.
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.
