The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, I've got to be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We're looking at a long, dry stretch with no real surf to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a bust, with nothing but tiny, weak, and messy conditions on offer.
The only spot we've got to look at is Wabasso, a sandbar that rarely breaks, and even when it does, it's picky. The guidance says it needs a swell from the NNE to really work, but we're not getting that. What we're getting is a long run of tiny easterly wind swell, from about 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with periods all over the shop from 5 to 14 seconds. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (29 to 111), and the wind is almost always a cross-onshore or onshore mess, killing any chance of a clean face.
There are a couple of moments that aren't a total write-off, but they're still a long way from good. On Saturday, September 5th, the morning goes glassy with a calm wind, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0 ft. It's a "glassy" window, which is nice, but there's nothing to ride. Then on Sunday, September 6th, we get a clean morning with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, but the swell is still only 2 ft and short-period. It's a clean ankle-snapper at best. The same goes for Monday, September 7th morning – clean with a cross-offshore, but only 1.0 ft on offer.
Later on, on Friday, September 11th, the morning goes glassy again, but it's the same story: 1.0 ft of weak, short-period energy. It's a cruel tease. For a spot that rarely breaks, you need a proper swell, and we just don't have one coming. The water temperature anomaly is not mentioned, so I can't tell you if it's warmer or colder than usual.
Honestly, with the tiny swell, poor quality, and mostly onshore wind, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a paddle. There's just nothing here for us. Don't hold your breath; forecasts can change, but this blank run is a pretty normal outcome for an area like this when the conditions don't line up.
Rusty.

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.
