The Lowdown
Alright, let me get this straight. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be honest with you – it's a flat spell. There's nothing here that's gonna get your heart racing. The surf is just not showing up. We start with Friday, 17th July, and the only break on the radar is Wabasso, a sandbar spot that barely ever breaks. And true to form, it's not breaking now.
From Friday the 17th all the way through to Saturday the 1st of August, we're looking at tiny, weak waves. The biggest pulse of energy we see is on the afternoon of Friday the 24th of July, with a combined swell energy of just 150 (moderate energy) coming from the ESE at a tiny 3 ft. But even then, the period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is a cross-shore from the SE at 12 mph, which is gonna mess up what little there is. The rest of the time, the swell is hanging around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with short periods, and the energy is mostly in the single or low double digits. That's limp, flat water.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
For a spot that's "rarely breaks," this is a pretty normal run of nothing. There's no standout, no best day. The conditions are consistently labeled "poor surf conditions" with scores of zero. The wind is often cross or cross-off, and even when it's glassy on the morning of the 30th of July, there's still no swell to push through.
Honestly, if you're looking at this stretch, the setup is more interesting for a kiteboarder than a paddle surfer. But for a wave? Don't bother. The board stays in the car.

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.
