The Lowdown
Yeah, look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. It’s a grim stretch ahead for Wabasso. We’ve got a full run of poor surf conditions staring us down for the first ten days or so, and that’s a long time to be staring at flat, wind-chopped lines. The swell’s there in name, mostly small and short-period, but it’s got no push and the wind is just going to keep putting a lid on any hope of something clean.
The first real sniff of anything decent doesn’t show up until the 19th. Saturday morning. That’s over a week away. There’s a light offshore breeze from the southwest, and the surf finally cleans up, even though it’s only 2ft of northeast swell. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s ordinary. If you’re desperate, that’s your window, but keep the expectations in the gutter.
Then on the 20th, things get a bit more interesting. Sunday morning sees the swell bump up to 4ft out of the east-northeast, and the combined energy jumps into the moderate range at 153. But the cross-shore wind from the northwest keeps it messy, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms in the mix. By the afternoon, the swell kicks a bit more to 5ft, which is about the limit for beginners, but the onshore wind from the northeast at 15 mph is just going to chop it all up. Not great.
That week after the 20th has a bit more size, but it’s all onshore and lumpy. The winds stay strong out of the east-northeast, often pushing 19 to 22 mph, and it’s just going to be blown-out chaos. There’s some energy in the water – we see moderate readings in the low hundreds to mid-200s – but it’s not going to translate into anything you’d want to paddle out into unless you’re after a fight. Honestly, for most of this stretch, with the onshore winds and that dumpy beach break, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Water temp is sitting at 83°, pretty much average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re watching the closeouts from the sand.
The one thing I’ll say is that Wabasso is a sandbar that rarely breaks. So a blank run like this isn’t exactly a shock. But when the stars do align, it can fire. For the next 16 days, though, the stars are very misaligned.

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.
