The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s ahead.
Honest truth: the next two weeks are flat as a pancake. From Tuesday, September 15th, right through to Wednesday, September 30th, there’s just no surf worth paddlin’ out for. We’re lookin’ at a 16-day dry spell.
The only break we got is Vari. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, faces south, but it’s inconsistent and rarely breaks. On September 25th, there’s a tiny pulse of swell – 0.3m from the ENE, period of 2 seconds. That’s not a wave, that’s a ripple. Combined energy is about 1 – basically zero.
Wind’s mostly cross-off or offshore, which almost stings because there’s nothin’ to keep clean. We get glassy conditions on the afternoon of September 19th and again on September 28th – calm, mirror-flat water, perfect for a snorkel, not for a surf.
Water temp at Vari is 80°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – about 5°F above average. So if you’re just hopin’ for a warm swim, you’re set. But for waves? Nada.
This kind of extended flat spell is pretty normal here when there’s no swell activity. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a big ol’ zero.
Hang loose and wait for the next pulse.

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.
