The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. We've got a tough stretch ahead for the whole 16-day window. Right now, things are looking pretty flat. The first sniff of any kind of rideable surf doesn't show up until late Tuesday afternoon, the 28th of July, and even then it's a whisper.
July 28th – July 29th
We get a tiny pulse on Tuesday afternoon at Vari. The swell is a mere 1.0ft from the ENE, with a super short period of just 3 seconds. That's barely enough to push a foamie around. The combined swell energy is almost non-existent (2). Winds are light and cross-offshore, so it'll be clean, but you're really just looking at a knee-high dribble. Wednesday offers nothing better – the swell completely disappears again, and while the wind is clean, there's no wave to surf.
July 30th – August 11th
From Thursday the 30th right through to Tuesday the 11th of August, it's a total flat spell. We're talking over a week and a half with zero swell energy. The combined energy shows as '0' for every single day. The wind stays mostly offshore or cross-offshore, which would be perfect if there were any waves, but there aren't. The water temperature around the 27th of July was 80°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only notable thing.
The Reality
There are no good surf options in this entire 16-day outlook. Vari is an inconsistent beginner break at the best of times, and it rarely breaks as it is. A blank run like this isn't totally abnormal for the area, but it's a tough pill to swallow. A few kite surfers might be eyeing the strong, clean winds that kick in from late July onwards, but for paddle surfing, it's a no-go.
Hang in there, forecasts can change. Until then, keep the wax on the shelf.
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.
