The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Lookin' at the charts for Vari, and I gotta be straight with ya – it's a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf, mate. There's just no swell coming through at all. The combined wave energy is a flat zero for the entire run, and that's a pretty grim picture.
Vari is an inconsistent spot at the best of times, and this is one of those blank runs that's more normal for the area. The water temp is sitting at 78°F right now, which is about average for the time of year, but with no waves to paddle into, it's a bit of a tease.
We're lookin' at a solid 15 days of nothing. From Thursday the 20th of August right through to the late morning of Wednesday the 3rd of September, the swell is a total zero. The wind is often offshore or glassy, which would be perfect if there was any energy, but there's not a ripple to ride.
Then, on the morning of Thursday the 4th of September, we finally see a tiny pulse – a 0.3ft swell from the south with a period of 5 seconds. That's a short-period, weak little fart of a wave and even with a moderate offshore wind, it's still labelled as poor surf conditions. The afternoon is worse, with a 0.7ft short-period swell from the SSE and a strong cross-offshore wind that'll just mush it up.
So, I've got no standouts to shout about. There's nothing to recommend. The setup is dead flat. If you're a kite surfer, those strong NNE winds on the 28th of August might be worth a look, but for a paddle surfer, it's a total bust. Sometimes it stays flat for a while, but forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.
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.
