The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's look at what's cookin' for Wabasso.
Well, it's a tough outlook, to be honest. We've got a long, drawn-out run of pretty ordinary conditions ahead. For the first week or so, the energy is just not there, and when we do get a bit of size, the wind is going to ruin it. You’re looking at a solid ten days of waiting before anything even remotely worthwhile shows its face.
Tuesday morning the 15th kicks off with tiny 1ft waves from the east and a cross-onshore breeze. It's a no-go. Wednesday the 16th sees a jump to 5ft from the northeast, but it's onshore, messy, and that swell period is a short 7 seconds. That pattern holds through the rest of the week and into the next—energy stays low, with combined swell energy figures stuck between 27 and 296 (weak to just barely moderate), and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore. Even the glassy moments on Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd are only offering up 2ft to 3ft of mushy, short-period swell. Not worth the wetsuit.
The one and only standout comes right at the end of the outlook. On Wednesday the 30th of September, we finally get a spike in size. Swell jumps to 10ft from the east-northeast with a 9-second period, and the combined energy hits a whopping 1429 (strong to very strong wave energy). That’s serious water moving. The wind is light and cross-onshore from the southeast, which isn't perfect, but it’s manageable.
Now, a word of caution: at 10ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers. It will be too much for anyone still finding their feet. Also, this is a sandbar break that "rarely breaks" and is described as "inconsistent," so the appearance of a big swell like this is notable and a bit of a gamble. The direction is from the east-northeast, which is off from the optimum swell direction of north-northeast, so it might not set up perfectly. But with that much energy in the water, there's a chance for a few big, powerful ones. Crowds are possible here.
So, the summary is brutal: a long, flat, and windy gap until that last day. The 30th of September is your only real chance, and it's a big, powerful, expert-only prospect. Keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath for the rest.
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.

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.
