The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real. I’ve looked over the charts for Vari, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. There’s a solid 16-day window here, but the first week is basically a write-off. We’re looking at a gap from now all the way through to the morning of the 15th of September with zero worthwhile surf. Zero. The energy is flat, the wind is mostly cross or offshore, but there’s just nothing to work with. It’s dead.
Finally, on the morning of Tuesday the 15th, we get a tiny pulse—a 0.7 ft swell from the south with a period of 4 seconds. That’s weak, barely a ripple. The combined energy is a measly 1 (one). The wind is light from the northwest, so it’ll be clean, but honestly, you’d be lucky to catch anything rideable. That afternoon gets choppy with a cross-onshore. Not the day.
Wednesday the 16th shows a little more life. The morning brings a 2 ft south swell, period 5 seconds, and the energy bumps up to 12. Still small, but with a risk of thunderstorms and a light northeast wind, it’ll be clean. The afternoon is a bit cleaner with a WNW breeze, but the swell’s the same. It’s not good, but it’s the best we’ve seen so far.
Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th offer tiny 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft waves with periods of just 3 to 4 seconds and energy values in the single digits. The mornings are glassy, which is beautiful to look at, but you’ll be waiting for a wave that never really comes.
For the rest of the window, from the 19th of September onward, it’s back to flat. Strong winds kick up on the 20th, but no swell to go with ’em. The whole period is a bust.
The only break in the file is Vari. It’s an exposed spot, but it’s inconsistent, and for a beginner-friendly wave, it’s just not delivering. The optimum swell direction is from the south, and when we do get a little push, it’s from the south, so that’s something. But with such tiny, weak, short-period swells, you’re not getting any shape or power. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
If you’re desperate, the morning of Wednesday the 16th is the standout, but it’s a sad standout. It’s a long way off, and the forecast could change, but right now, it’s a waiting game. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddleboard.
Stay patient.
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.
