The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window and honestly, we’re looking at a bit of a flat spell around here. There just isn’t any surf worth paddling out for. The whole run is filled with tiny swells, mostly below 3 ft, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” You’ll be sitting on your board doing nothing. This stretch starts now and goes right through to the 17th of September. That’s a long, quiet run.
The water temperature at Wabasso is sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
For the first break I’m looking at, Wabasso, it’s a sandbar that *rarely breaks*, and this period proves why. The combined swell energy is weak, barely hitting 72 at best on Wednesday the 2nd, and mostly hanging around in the 20s and 30s. That’s weak, low-energy stuff. Swell direction is out of the E and ENE most of the time, with periods mostly between 5 and 11 seconds. There’s nothing with any punch.
There are a couple of mornings with glassy or offshore wind – like Saturday the 6th, Thursday the 11th, and Sunday the 13th – but when the swell is only 0.7 ft to 1 ft, clean conditions don’t save you. You’re looking at flat, clean water, not surf.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. The best you could hope for is maybe a quick knee-high blip on a rare day, but I wouldn’t hold your breath. This area can go blank like this – it’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

Information about the Wabasso Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Wabasso provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Wabasso can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Wabasso 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 (Wabasso) 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 Wabasso 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.
