The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. For the next two weeks, we are looking at a stretch that’s mostly a flat spell or just tiny, messy conditions. It’s a classic “wait-and-see” run, but there is a little glimmer of hope deep in the second week if you’re patient.
Right now, from Friday the 28th of August, through the first week and into the start of September, there’s just nothing doing. We’re seeing tiny little 1 to 3-foot swells, mostly from the east with short periods under 9 seconds, and the energy is low – barely hitting (42) to (135) at best. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, often 6-9 mph, so it’s choppy and lumpy. This first whole week is a write-off, nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, we get to the morning of Monday, September 7th. A little pulse from the NE rolls in at 1ft, but it’s got a long 13-second period. The combined energy is still weak at (50), so it’s not gonna be much, but the wind is light cross-off from the WSW at 6 mph, so the surface is clean. You might find a few long-period lines but expect them to be fat.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is shaping up for Thursday afternoon, September 10th. This is the best on offer. The swell builds to 3ft from the ENE with a 10-second period. The combined energy kicks up to (214) – that’s moderate, it’s got some push. But the magic part is the wind: glassy. Dead calm, clear skies, a light southeasterly just keeping the surface smooth. This would be the cleanest, most fun window of the whole two weeks. The waves at Wabasso (this is a sandbar that rarely breaks, so when it does, you want to be on it) will be tiny but glassy and rippable for an intermediate on a funboard. Keep your expectations low on size, but high on quality for that Thursday afternoon.
The following morning, Friday the 11th, also looks decent with a clean cross-off wind and 3-feet of swell, but it’s not quite the same stunner as that glassy Thursday afternoon. After that, it fades back to tiny and cross-shore wind.
So yeah, it’s a long dry spell, but that Thursday afternoon session on the 10th is the one to circle. It’s the only time this sandbar will be worth the walk.

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.
