The Lowdown

Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next 16 days starting with Wabasso. This is not going to be a classic stretch. In fact, it’s a quiet, drawn-out period where the surf is consistently small and weak. Most days offer nothing rideable, and it's not until the final few days that we see a slight uptick that might interest a dedicated surfer.

The first real blip worth noting is on Wednesday morning, August 19th. Right at the top of the morning, we get a little bit of glassy conditions with a 1ft east swell, period around 10 seconds. The combined energy is still low at 31, but it’s glassy. The water temperature is sitting at 83°F, which is about 2°F cooler than the long-term average – so it’s pretty standard for the time of year, nothing unusual.

Then, moving into Saturday morning, August 22nd, conditions pick up a touch. The swell is still a small 1ft from the east, period 10 seconds, but the wind is cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, making it clean. The combined energy creeps up to 35, and the wave comment says "clean." This is a true standout session for this stretch – it’s the best option on offer here. Not huge, but clean and surfable for a longboard or a funboard. The break is a sandbar setup, exposed to the swell, and it faces NNE for the optimum – so this east swell is working.

Sunday morning, August 23rd, also looks clean with offshore wind from the SW at 6 mph, and the same 1ft east swell, period 9 seconds. The energy is a bit higher at 48, but it’s still small. This is the best of the limited options.

After that, there’s a gap until the final days, but the swell starts to get a little more hope. Wednesday morning, August 26th, has a clean, cross-off breeze and a 2ft east swell, though the period drops to 7 seconds. The energy is 27. It’s weak, but it’s clean.

Thursday, August 27th, is the last day in the window – glassy conditions in the morning with a 1ft east swell, 7-second period, and energy at 22. It’s barely surfable, but if you’re desperate, it’s glassy.

Overall, the one standout is Saturday morning, August 22nd. Small but clean, and a little more energy than the rest. The water is average for the time of year, nothing special. Realistically, if you’re a beginner, this is fine – the swell never gets over 2ft, so it’s not intimidating. But for anyone else, it’s going to be a frustrating wait. The whole period is a slow, small run.

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.
