The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this 16-day window for Vari is a total write-off. There’s simply no surf to get excited about.
The whole period kicks off with a big fat zero on Saturday the 15th of August, and that dry spell just keeps rolling. We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch with nothing but poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy is flat at 0 the entire time, so there’s no wave action to speak of. The water temperature is sitting at 79°, which is about normal for the time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
The only flicker of anything happens on Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. A tiny 0.7ft swell from the south shows up, with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 1, so it’s barely a ripple. The wind is glassy, which would be a dream if there was any actual surf, but at this size and period, it’s not even worth paddling out for. For a spot that’s already inconsistent and exposed to a south swell, this is a non-event.
After that, the guidance file shows the break is rated for beginners, but with no swell and mostly cross-off or onshore winds through the rest of the month, it’s just not happening. The crowds are marked as "sometimes," but that doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to crowd for. This is one of those times where the area just goes quiet, and a blank run like this is more normal than you’d hope.
If you’re dead set on getting wet, the setup is so flat that it might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, but even that’s a stretch. Stick to the beach for now, and keep an eye on the forecasts—things can change.
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.
