The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I'll call it straight—this is a flat spell. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch here at Wabasso. The first few days of the forecast period are basically a write-off, and there’s nothing that really stands out as a proper surf session. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud.
We start off on Wednesday the 15th through to the end of the month, and it's all tiny, weak little waves. The swell is barely a ripple, with heights hovering around 0.7 ft to 2 ft and periods mostly in the 6 to 9 second range—that’s pure windswell, no real push or power behind it. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking double digits most days, peaking at a modest 56 (moderate) on the afternoon of the 22nd, but it’s still not enough to get excited about.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. For a spot that’s exposed out of the NNE, and this being a sandbar that rarely breaks, we’re not getting the right swell direction or any size to make it work. There’s a few mornings with clean, glassy conditions and light offshore winds from the SSW, especially on the 18th, 19th, and 22nd, but with barely any wave to ride, it doesn’t matter. The afternoons get a bit of a sea breeze, cross-shore to cross-onshore, with some chop, making it even less appealing.
If you’re a beginner, even the biggest swell here (2 ft) is safe, but it’s just not surfable. For a beach setup like this, with that weak, short-period energy and strong afternoon cross-winds, it honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There are no standout days, no build-up of any decent groundswell, and the consistency is shot. This is one of those blank runs that’s just normal for the area when the conditions don’t line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
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.
