The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
First off, I’ve gotta be straight with you: there’s nothing on the table. The forecast shows we’re looking at a long run of "poor surf conditions" right through the entire 16-day window. There’s no swell energy showing up at all – the combined energy rating is sitting at 0, which is as flat as it gets. The winds are mostly offshore or cross-offshore, which would be great if there was any wave to ride, but without any swell, it’s just a glassy, clean lake out there.
The first recommendation would have been on the 5th of August, but there’s nothing there. This dry spell stretches all the way from the start of the forecast through to the morning of the 20th of August – that’s a solid 16 days of nada.
There’s only one spot listed, Vari. It’s rated for beginners, which is fine, but it’s inconsistent, only breaks sometimes, and it’s exposed to a south swell direction. The wind is blowing from the north, which is offshore for Vari, but again, no waves to clean up. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.
So, what do we do? If you’re desperate for a paddle, you’ll be floating on a flat ocean. This is one of those times where the forecast is just a blank page. It doesn’t tend to stay this poor for long around here, so keep an eye on it – things can change. For now, the gear stays in the shed.
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.
