The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break it down for the Wabasso area. It's a real tough stretch on the surf front.
The whole 16-day window is a struggle. The combined energy of all swells directed here is very weak, topping out at just 81 (weak energy) on Friday, July 24th, and then falling off a cliff. You're looking at a long, long gap of days with no real rideable surf. The bump is tiny, weak waves from the east with a short period of 8 seconds, and the swell never gets above 3ft. The break is a sandbar that rarely breaks, so this run of flatness is pretty normal for the area.
The water temp is sitting at 82°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, but nothing crazy.
Let's run through the days. For the first week, from Friday, July 24th through Thursday, July 30th, you're looking at swell between 0.7ft and 3ft, mostly from the east. The wind is a mixed bag, but the waves are just so small it's barely worth a paddle. There are some clean, glassy conditions on Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th, but with 1ft to 2ft waves, it's a flat spell.
The second week, from July 31st into August, is more of the same – tiny east swell, 0.7ft to 1ft, with some offshore winds. The combined energy drops to as low as 7 (very weak). Even the rare glassy conditions on August 5th with 1.0ft waves won't save you. There is one small spike on August 7th and 8th where the swell bumps up to 2ft from the southeast, but the period is a shocking 4 to 5 seconds – that's just wind chop, not proper surf. The wind is cross-onshore, so it'll be choppy on top of being tiny.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There's nothing here that gets a thumbs up. It’s a flat spell, folks. The forecasts can change, but right now, you're better off finding something else to do.
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.
