Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wabasso over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s call it how I see it—Wabasso is flat out of luck for the next 16 days. Not a single session worth mentioning.
From Sunday July 12th right through Monday July 27th, it’s a ghost town for surf. Swell heights stay between a sad 0.7 ft and 3 ft, with periods mostly short—7 to 8 seconds, a couple days with 3 or 4 seconds of wind slop. The combined swell energy tops out at 24 (on Wednesday the 22nd), which is weak. Most days it’s between 5 and 17. That’s barely a ripple.
Wabasso is a sandbar that rarely breaks on a good day, and this forecast doesn’t help. The ideal swell direction is NNE, but we’re getting tiny dribbles from E, ESE, and NE—wrong direction, wrong size. Wind offers a few light offshore moments (like Monday the 13th morning, Wednesday the 15th morning, Saturday the 18th morning), but there’s no wave to clean up. Clean flat water isn’t surf.
The afternoon of Tuesday July 21st gives the most height—3 ft from the SE with a 4-second period—but that’s just windswell chop. Cross-off wind from the SSE at 12 mph will make it look clean, but there’s no shape, no power. Maybe something for a kite, but not a surfboard.
Water temp on the 12th is 83°, right about average for this time of year (anomaly -0.6°). Warm, but no waves.
This is just how it goes here sometimes. Long flat spells are normal for Wabasso. Nothing to do but wait for a change in the forecast.
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.
