Alright, let’s be honest with you. At Wabasso, it’s looking like a proper flat spell all the way through. That poor little sandbar is just not catching any energy from the east that’s worth paddling for. We’ve got a good two and a half weeks here where the numbers just aren’t stacking up.
The first week of July, from Tuesday the 7th right through to Sunday the 13th, it’s tiny. You’re looking at ankle-slappers around 1ft to 1ft from the east with a short, weak period of 5 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is barely registering – we’re talking 14 to 42 (weak energy at best). That’s barely enough to knock a beer off the lid of your cooler. There is a moment on the morning of Thursday the 9th where the wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the water looks like a mirror, but with only 1ft of weak east slop, it’s just a flat, pretty sight. Not a wave.
We move into the second week, from the 14th to the 22nd, and it doesn't get any better. The swell height drops even lower, sometimes down to a pathetic 0.3ft or 0.7ft. The combined energy falls off a cliff, mostly single digits and low teens. Even the offshore winds we get on the mornings of the 15th, 18th, and 20th are wasted – there’s just no swell to groom. The period stays short, never getting above 9 seconds, so there’s no push, no power.
The overall picture is grim. The setup at the sandbar rarely breaks even on a good day, and this is one of those long, blank runs that are more normal for the area when the wind is pinching the east swell. If you’re desperate for a paddle and have a longboard, you might find a ripple on the glassy mornings, but for a proper surf, you’re out of luck. Forecasts can change, but right now, there is genuinely nothing on offer.

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.
