The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The charts are showing a real flat spell for Wabasso. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell with absolutely no decent surf on offer for the first twelve days straight. The water is sitting at 82°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit if you're heading out.
From the 8th of August through to the 19th, it's all small, gutless waves, mostly from the east, with a mix of cross and cross-off winds. The energy is barely registering, with readings like 7 and 14, so it's really just a lake out there. No point even getting the board wet.
Then on the 20th of August, there's a little flicker of life. The Thursday morning session shows a 2ft easterly swell with a 10-second period and a clean cross-off breeze from the west. The combined energy finally bumps up to 82, which is still weak, but the conditions are clean. It's a surfable wave, but very ordinary. That's the only day in the whole 16-day window that even gets a score of 1 out of 10, and it's still nothing to write home about.
After that, it's back to small, weak swell with a few glassy moments on the 21st and 22nd, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. For a break that rarely breaks, this is a pretty normal blank run for the area. We just have to wait for the next pulse.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, but don't hold your breath.
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.
