The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same story but in feet and miles per hour, because that’s how some folks think.
First up, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The water’s warm, sittin’ around 83°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, but that’s where the good news starts and ends. The swell is tiny, the energy is practically non-existent for most of the run, and the surf reports are all screaming "poor surf conditions." This spot is a sandbar set-up that rarely breaks, and unfortunately, this forecast is living up to that reputation.
The whole 16-day window is a bust. There’s a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for from now all the way through to the end. We’re looking at small, weak swells, mostly from the E or ENE, with periods bouncing between 7 and 11 seconds. The combined energy is in the weak range, barely cracking triple digits on a couple of days. For example, on Wednesday the 9th, we see a slight bump to 3 ft from the NE, but the energy is still only 130, and with a cross-onshore wind, it’s gonna be choppy and messy. That’s about as good as it gets, and that’s not saying much.
The wind is a constant problem. We get a few glassy moments early on, like Saturday afternoon with a light ENE breeze, but the swell is only 1 ft, so it’s a flat, glassy lake. Not a wave in sight. The rest of the time, it’s cross-shore, cross-off, or cross-onshore, with nothing to really hold a clean face together.
About the only thing that might be worth a mention is the very end of the run. On Sunday the 20th, we see a little bump in period to 10 seconds from the ENE, with a swell height of 2 ft and energy at 90. It’s still weak, and the wind is onshore, so it’s going to be a bumpy, weak close-out. Not a standout by any stretch.
So, here’s the honest truth: there’s no standout session. No hidden gem. The swell is too small, the wind is wrong, and the break itself is inconsistent. If you’re desperate, you might find a knee-high ripple on the 9th or 20th, but don’t expect any kind of wave. This is one of those stretches where the board stays in the car. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a solid blank run.
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.
