The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board but maybe leave it in the car for a while. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat around here. We've got a long stretch of nothing on the horizon, so don't get your hopes up for any real waves just yet.
The water’s sitting at a warm 79° right now, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least a swim won't be a shock. But for surfing? The outlook is rough.
We start off with nothing. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th are completely flat, and while the wind is light, there's just no swell to work with. Tuesday the 18th teases us with a tiny 0.7ft south swell with a weak 4-second period. That’s not even enough to push a piece of seaweed. The combined energy is basically zero (1), so don't bother paddling out.
From the 19th through the 31st, it's a desolate wasteland of no swell. We're looking at about two weeks with nothing on offer. The wind stays mostly offshore or glassy, which would be great if there was a wave to clean up, but there isn't. It's all clear skies and poor surf conditions. A lot of those days will be clean but dead flat. It’s going to feel like a lake out there.
With that lack of swell and the clean but empty conditions, honestly, this looks more like a window for a long paddle on a sup or a bit of kitesurfing if you're into that, rather than a surf. The swell energy is just non-existent. For a break that's already inconsistent, this is a pretty dead period.
This is just one of those blank runs. It happens. Forecasts can change, but for now, don't plan any dawn patrols. Keep the board in the roof rack and hope for a better signal in the long-range.

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.
