The Lowdown
Rusty here. Let's talk about Wabasso. It's gonna be a quiet one for a while, so don't hold your breath. We've got a bit of a wait on our hands.
Right off the bat, don't bother paddling out this Sunday or Monday. The swell's tiny, only around 0.7ft to 2ft from the east with weak energy (max 53). Winds are okay in the mornings, but the surf just isn't there. We're looking at a solid gap of nothing but poor conditions through the rest of this week and into the start of next. Tuesday the 27th through Friday the 30th of August is all flat and messy. We see a little bump in combined swell energy on Monday the 31st of August (149) but the swell height is still a meager 1.0ft with a long period of 18 seconds and cross-on wind. Not worth it.
Things start to look a tiny bit more interesting on Tuesday the 1st of September. We get a morning of glassy conditions with a 2ft east swell (147 energy), but the period is a long 15 seconds. For a sandbar like Wabasso, that long period groundswell can make things break a bit straight and tricky. Still, the clean surface is a major positive. Wednesday morning the 2nd of September is your best bet in this whole outlook. We've got glassy conditions again, with a 2ft east swell (131 energy) and a 12-second period. That's the pick of the bunch, but it's still very small and only a '1 out of 10' score, so don't expect much.
After that, Thursday and Friday the 3rd and 4th of September look similar, with small waves and onshore winds in the afternoons. The morning of Friday the 4th has a 3ft east swell (159 energy) and clean conditions with a cross-off wind, but again, the quality is described as very ordinary. The weekend of the 6th and 7th of September offers a few more glassy windows, but the swell is small and the energy is dropping.
Overall, this is a poor stretch for Wabasso. The standout window is the mornings of Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September, with clean, glassy conditions on a small, long-period east swell. But honestly, it's pretty weak. For a break that rarely breaks, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, though – it never stays flat forever.
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.
