The Lowdown
Alright, folks, same story, just in feet. Honestly, there's nothing to get fired up about. This whole 16-day window is looking flat and pretty hopeless for those of us who actually want to paddle out.
Right off the bat, Tuesday starts us off with a weak 2ft east swell, but the energy’s pitiful (49). The morning glass is nice, but it’s too small to do anything with. Wednesday and Thursday get a touch more size on the afternoon—maybe 2-3ft—but it’s crossed up and choppy, and the period is short. Not a good look. These first few days are bait-and-switch territory.
Then comes the big flat spell. From Friday through the middle of next week, we’re talking about barely ankle-biters at 1ft or less. The energy readings are almost zero (11, 12, 15). A few mornings will have those clean, offshore breezes, but there’s no swell behind them. It’s flat. Dead flat. You could waterski on it.
The only thing that even registers as a blip is around mid-month, on the 16th. That afternoon shows a bump to maybe 2-3ft, but the period falls to a crappy 5 seconds. It’s just wind chop. And with a 20 km/h cross-onshore, it’s going to be messy and blown out. That’s not for the surfer, that’s for the kite crew.
So you’re looking at nearly eleven days with nothing rideable. The water is warm—84°—which is about normal, so at least it’s comfortable to just sit on the beach and watch the flatness. It’s a tough run, no doubt. These lulls are part of life here, but it doesn’t mean it’ll stay this way forever. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, don’t bother waxing up. Save your energy. I’ll be here when it turns on.

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.
