The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a 16-day stretch starting now, but honestly, it’s gonna be a long, quiet wait for anything worth paddling out for.
Looking at the whole block, the wave energy is just not there. The highest combined energy we see all period is 100 (moderate), and that’s a rare spike. Most days it’s sitting below 30 (weak). For Wabasso, a sandbar setup that rarely breaks, this is a classic dry spell. The swell is tiny – mostly around 0.7ft to 3ft – and coming from the E or ESE, which is not the optimum NNE direction for this spot. The period is short too, mostly 4 to 9 seconds, meaning weak, windswell slop. The water’s sitting at a warm 85°F, about normal for this time of year.
There are no true standouts in this 16-day window. The first few days from July 16th into the weekend have zero to no surf. You'll see a slight increase around the 19th (Sunday), with a 3ft swell from the SE, but the period is a terrible 4 seconds, so it’s just bumpy, weak energy (28 combined). The winds are mostly cross-off or even offshore at times, which would clean it up, but there’s no power behind the waves.
Around July 24th (Friday afternoon), we see the combined energy hit 100 (moderate) with a 3ft ESE swell at 8 seconds, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it choppy. That’s about as good as it gets, and it’s still a “poor surf conditions” call.
Because this break is inconsistent and rarely breaks, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area. For the next two weeks, you’re looking at ankle-to-knee-high mush at best, with the odd little knee-high pulse on a clean morning. The best chance for a clean, small wave might be on July 30th (Thursday) morning with a light 2ft swell from the E, 8-second period, and a 3 mph WSW wind, giving you clean conditions (combined energy 35 – weak). Or July 31st (Friday) morning, with a 1ft E swell, 8-second period, and a light offshore WSW breeze (combined energy 29 – weak). Don’t expect any power or push.
Honestly, this is a kite surfer’s setup more than a paddle surfer’s. The small, weak, short-period swell and often cross-shore winds mean there’s just nothing for a surfboard to work with.
Keep your expectations low and your wax dry for a while.
Rusty.

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.
