The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for Wabasso.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 85°, which is spot on average for this time of year. That's a nice warm one.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, it is a quiet stretch. There's not a single standout session in this entire forecast window. The swell is barely a ripple for most of it. We're looking at a long run of days where the best you can hope for is knee-high or thigh-high dribble, if that. From Tuesday the 18th all the way through to the afternoon of Sunday the 24th, it's mostly 1ft with a very weak combined swell energy (mostly between 12 and 26). There's a slight bump on the afternoon of Saturday the 22nd of August, with the combined energy reaching 69, but that's still weak surf, and with a 2ft south-easterly swell and a moderate breeze, it's not going to offer much.
Even into the latter half of the month into early September, things don't improve much. The swell tops out at around 2ft on the afternoon of Tuesday the 1st of September with combined energy climbing to 61, but the period is short (7-8 seconds), and winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, so it'll be chopped up. For a break that rarely breaks, this is just a dead period.
Given the persistent small, weak swell and mostly poor to marginal conditions, this setup would honestly be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days when the wind picks up.
It’s a blank run, and for Wabasso it's not unusual at all when the swell window isn't firing. Forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home for a while.

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.
