The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for our stretch of coast. Let’s be real with each other.
Straight off the bat, things are flat and ugly for a long stretch. We’re talkin’ days of nothin’ worth paddling out for. The whole week from Monday the 14th right through to Friday the 25th is a write-off. There’s small, weak, junky windswell, the wind’s mostly on it or cross, and it’s just a mess of rain and thunderstorms. You’d be better off waxing your board and watchin’ it collect dust. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Now, after all that wait, things finally start to look interesting on Saturday the 26th. That’s our real standout. Early that morning we get a solid pulse of groundswell, 5ft from the NE on a 10-second period, with clean, gentle offshore wind out of the SW. The energy reading jumps up to 442 (moderate wave energy), which is the biggest we’ve seen in the whole window. This ain’t for beginners though. At over 5ft, it’s getting into intermediate territory, and the long period means it’ll have some punch and better shape. This is a proper point break setup day. Wabasso is a sandbar, so with that long-period NE swell, it might get a bit straight, but the offshore wind will do wonders for it. Expect crowds as it *sometimes* gets busy, so get in early.
Saturday afternoon drops a touch to 4ft from the same direction but the wind goes cross-off and stays clean. Still a very good session.
Sunday the 27th morning is still a good option, with 4ft NE, again with a 9-second period and clean cross-off breeze (231 moderate energy). It’s smaller, but still quality. The afternoon gets a little bit of cross-shore breeze and it starts to go a bit ordinary with some chop.
After that, it fades off again into weaker, smaller surf with messy winds for the last couple of days of the month. That 26th and 27th morning window is your only real look. Don’t miss it.

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.
