The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Wabasso has in store for us.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a 16-day window, but honestly, there’s no real surf to get excited about. The first record we’ve got kicks off from Wednesday, July 29th, and the pattern is pretty grim all the way through to Thursday, August 13th. That’s a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
The swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.7ft to 5ft at best, and even when it bumps up a touch, the conditions just aren’t there. The combined energy of all swells directed here stays weak, with values like 13, 7, 6 – barely a ripple. It isn’t until Friday morning, August 7th, that we see a bit of a jump to 157 (moderate energy), and then Friday afternoon it hits 536 (strong), but don’t let that fool you. That 5ft swell from the east with an 8-second period is being hammered by cross-onshore winds at 12 mph. That’s not surfable for a sandbar that rarely breaks – it’ll be a messy, choppy mess. Too big for beginners at over 5ft? No, it’s just over 5ft, but the quality is so poor it’s not worth it for anyone.
The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is about 2°F colder than normal for this time of year – a bit cooler than usual, but not shocking.
Because Wabasso (sandbar) is inconsistent and the swells are coming from the east and ESE with short periods mostly under 8 seconds, and the winds are often onshore or cross-onshore, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. You’d be fighting chop and weak, short-period waves.
Honestly, there are no standouts here. No best day. The forecast is a blank run, and given how rarely this spot breaks, it’s not surprising. Sometimes it just goes quiet for a while, and forecasts can change, but this time around, you’re better off saving your energy.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
