The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking at Wabasso for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a total flat spell. Over this full 16-day period, there’s just no surf worth paddling out for. The combined energy numbers are tiny, barely breaking 20-30 for most of the run, and wave heights are all hanging below 2 feet. The wind shifts around a fair bit, but the main issue is there’s simply no power behind any of it. This is a dead period, plain and simple.
From August 11th onward... It’s a rough start. Tuesday the 11th gives us a weak 1ft from the ESE with a sad 6-second period and a cross-on breeze. A total zero on the surf scale. Wednesday and Thursday stay just as small, under 1ft.
The only flicker of something interesting comes way out at the far end. On Wednesday, August 26th, the morning shows a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE with a short 4-second period, but the wind goes dead calm. Glassy. Zero wind. For a sandbar that rarely breaks, seeing glassy conditions on any wave is worth noting, even if the swell is puny. The water temp is about 83°, which is a little cooler than usual for this time of year.
Still, the truth is it’s not enough to get a surf on. A 2ft swell with that kind of short period won’t do anything on an inconsistent spot like Wabasso. Honestly, the conditions look more suited to a kite than a paddle surf.
Don’t get too down – this area can have quiet runs like this, and things can change. But for this outlook, 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.
