Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wabasso over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's wade through it.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are lookin' real flat and pretty grim. The swell energy is tiny – we're talking numbers like 30, 39, and even down to 6. That's barely a bump. The only spot we've got is Wabasso, a sandbar that rarely breaks, so it's a fickle one. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf from now, right through the middle of July, with nothing really worth the effort.
The water is a warm 84°F, which is pretty much normal for the season.
For the first week, from Thursday the 9th through Wednesday the 15th, it's all tiny knee-high slop, mostly 1ft from the east. The wind is a mixed bag – we get a glassy morning on Tuesday the 14th, which is a real tease, but the swell is just too weak to do anything with. It's a letdown.
Moving into the second week, from the 16th to the 24th, the swell ticks up a little, but it's still poor. We get a few days with a bit more push, like Thursday the 23rd when the waves hit 3ft from the ESE, but the period is a short, choppy 5 seconds, and the wind is all cross or cross-on. The energy finally gets into the double digits (60 and 78), but it's messy, onshore wind swell. On Saturday the 18th, we get a 2ft pulse from the SE with a 3-second period – that's just wind slop, and while it's offshore, it's not a wave you'd want to ride.
The best of the whole period is a sliver of hope on Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd. Tuesday morning sees a 2ft ESE swell, still short at 4 seconds, but it's blowing light offshore from the SSW, so it'll be clean. The energy is weak (19), but it's the cleanest you'll see. Wednesday the 22nd pushes up to 3ft from the ESE, but the wind turns cross-shore, messing it up. For a surfer, this whole stretch is a bust. The swell is too small and weak, and the sandbar is so inconsistent it's not worth the gamble.
Forget the paddle; with the wind and the weak, small swell, this setup at Wabasso looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Rusty out.

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.
