The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Vari over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I gotta level with ya—there’s not a single decent wave on the cards for the entire 16-day window. The whole run is a flat spell. From now, right through to Tuesday the 29th of September, we’re lookin’ at a big fat goose egg. Zero swell energy (0) the whole way through. No height, no period, nothing.
We start off on Monday the 14th of September with glassy conditions and the water temp sittin’ at 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—that’s a 5° positive anomaly, so it’s noticeably warm out there. But without any swell, that just means it’s a nice day for a float, not a paddle.
Tuesday the 15th kicks up a bit of a nor’ly breeze, 16–22 mph, but the sea stays flat. That pattern keeps on rollin’ through the whole week—northerly winds, mostly cross-off, clean looking but nothing to ride. By Friday the 18th, it goes glassy again, still flat.
Into the second week, same story. Clear skies, a mix of offshore and cross-off breezes, but the ocean just won’t deliver. By the 28th and 29th, we see a little southerly and southwesterly wind, but again, no swell to work with.
For a spot like Vari, which is exposed to the south, a blank run this long is more normal than you’d hope, but not unheard of. It’s inconsistent and when there’s no swell, there’s just no swell. Keep your eyes peeled—forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat forever.
Signing off,
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.
