The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call, but I’ll give it to you straight. We’re looking at Wabasso, and to be honest, the whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for a proper paddle session. There’s barely any energy coming through, and when there is, the wind just messes it up. The water’s sitting at 82°, which is a bit cooler than you’d expect for this time of year, but nothing crazy.
The first real chance of anything rideable comes on August 7th, but don’t get your hopes up. That Friday morning, we’ve got a 4ft swell from the east with a period of 7 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. The afternoon picks up a bit to 5ft from the east, period nudging 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 460. That’s moderate energy, but it’s still messy. The shape will be poor, and it’s not going to be a fun session.
Saturday the 8th is more of the same. Morning sees 4ft from the east with a cross-shore wind, so it’s a little cleaner, but still not great. Afternoon drops back to 3ft with cross-onshore chop. The energy is moderate at 177 and 145, but again, the quality just isn’t there.
The rest of the first week is a slow slide into flatness. From Sunday the 9th onward, the swell drops below 3ft, and the wind keeps swinging onshore or cross-shore. The energy numbers fall into the double digits, which is weak. There’s a moment on Tuesday the 11th morning where it goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. You’d be sitting on a longboard waiting for a ripple.
The second week is even quieter. From the 12th through to the 21st of August, the swell never gets above 2ft. The longest period we see is 9 seconds, but it’s attached to almost no height. On the 17th and 18th, we get some clean moments with light offshore or cross-off winds, but the swell is 1ft and 1.0ft. It’s just not enough.
Wabasso is a sandbar that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, no day to circle on the calendar. If you’ve got a kite, you might get some fun, but for a paddle surfer, this is a 16-day stretch of flat, choppy, or wind-affected nothing. The forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.

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.
