The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut straight to it. We're looking at a blank 16-day run for the region around Wabasso. There simply isn't any decent surf on offer.
The pattern is stubbornly flat and clean, but flat is flat. Swell heights barely tickle 1.6ft for most of the period, with the east energy dribbling in with periods that bounce around. The combined energy readings are tiny, a lot of it in the single digits to low twenties, which tells you how little power is behind it. Even the occasional morning glass-off or light offshore breeze can't dress this up. If there is a faint glimmer of hope, it’s on the morning of Friday, August 28th. We finally see the energy reading hit 55, and we get a 2ft pulse from the east with a clean, glassy surface. The water’s sitting at a warm 83.1°, which is a touch cooler than usual for August, but nothing dramatic.
But here’s the reality: this break is a sandbar that *rarely breaks* under the best conditions. With these tiny, weak swells, it’s just not happening. For the entire 16-day window, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell is too small, the period too short, and the energy too weak to push anything rideable over a sandbar that needs a proper push. There are no standouts here, not even for next week. The further out you look, it’s more of the same – tiny east swell chopped up by afternoon sea breezes. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a flat-water paddle than a surf. Don’t hold your breath.

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.
