The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking grim for waves. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead, so don’t be surprised if the boards are gathering dust for a while.
We’re looking at a stretch from August 14th through the 25th with nothing but tiny, weak surf. We’re talking ankle-biters in the 0.7ft to 1ft range, with weak wave energy (between 6 and 50 in the combined energy readings). It’s just not going to be worth paddling out. The mornings will be glassy and clean, but with nothing to ride, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Afternoons mostly see a cross-shore breeze pop up, chopping up the already non-existent surf. The conditions are clean, but the ocean is flat.
The gap with no real surf runs for nearly two weeks. It’s a tough stretch, but Wabasso is a spot that can be inconsistent like this, so it’s not unusual. Forecasts can shift, so keep an eye on it, but don’t get your hopes up for any of this first week.
Now, looking way out to the end of the month, there’s a flicker of life. On the morning of Friday, August 29th, things look like they start to wake up down at Wabasso (North County). We’re talking chest to head-high waves, around 5ft, pushing in from the east with a long-period, 12-second groundswell. The energy jumps way up to a strong 576 rating, which is a massive change from what we’ve seen. The wind looks like a light offshore breeze from the west, which should keep the waves clean. This is the standout of the whole period, but it’s a long way off, so treat it as a promising, not certain, prospect.
The water temperature is sitting right around 84°F, right at the norm for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
So, keep the faith. The surf will come back. This one’s got real potential, but we’ll have to be patient. A long-period east swell like that is best handled by reefs and points, and a sandbar like Wabasso might see it breaking a bit straight, so keep that in mind. It’s a long wait, but it might just be worth it.
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.
