The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Vari over the next sixteen days is a tough one. There’s no swell on the charts at all, with the combined energy of all swells directed here sitting at 0 for the entire run. That’s a big, fat zero, and it means we’re looking at poor surf conditions from start to finish. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead, with no recommendations at all through to the end of the forecast period on Saturday, August 8th.
The first day we might be able to even think about a paddle is Friday, July 24th, but with no wave height and zero energy, you’re better off staying home. The weekend brings some offshore wind on Saturday, July 25th, with winds from the north at 16 mph, but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride. Sunday, July 26th, sees a glassy morning with north winds at 3 mph, but again, flat as a pancake.
The following week doesn’t get any better. We’ve got clean conditions and some offshore breezes – like Wednesday, July 29th, with north winds at 16 mph, and Thursday, July 30th, with north winds cranking at 25 mph – but it’s all wasted energy. The combined swell energy stays at 0, so there’s just no wave to speak of. Even the glassy morning on Tuesday, August 5th, with north-northeast winds at 3 mph, can’t save us.
Vari is a beginner break that’s inconsistent and exposed to south swell, but the optimum swell is from the south, and we’re getting nothing. It’s a rare spot that rarely breaks, so this kind of blank run is more normal for the area. The water temperature isn’t provided, so I can’t tell you how it compares to average, but with no surf, it doesn’t matter much.
The only tiny glimmer is on Saturday, August 8th, when we’ve got a light offshore from the north-northwest at 6 mph and clean conditions, but still no swell. It’s a bummer, but don’t lose hope – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay poor for long around here. For now, the kite surfers might have a look at the steady winds, but for us paddle surfers, it’s a no-go.
Stay tuned, and I’ll keep you posted. 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.
