The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here with the look at Wabasso.
It’s a grim start. From Monday the 24th of August through the rest of the month, the surf is tiny, barely a ripple. Combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking three digits, and the wind is mostly messing it up. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. We’re in a real holding pattern until into September. The best chance we get comes on Wednesday the 2nd of September.
That Wednesday morning, we’re looking at glass – dead calm wind, east swell around 2ft at 13 seconds, combined energy around 211. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is the one to keep an eye on. It’ll be clean and fun on a longboard or fish. Thursday the 3rd follows it up, with a 4ft east swell at 14 seconds, clean with offshore winds in the afternoon. That’s the peak of the window. After that, the second week drops back down to waist-high or smaller, with lighter energy. The 5th and 6th of September offer a few glassy moments in the afternoons, but you’re scratching for anything rideable.
Like I said, it’s a sandbar that doesn’t fire often, so when the models point to that clean window a week out, it’s promising but don't bank your whole trip on it yet.

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.
