The Lowdown
Alright, let me look at the charts for Wabasso. It’s a sandbar set-up. Honestly, the outlook for the next 16 days is looking pretty flat and quiet. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
From Sunday, July 19th, right through to Monday, August 3rd, we’ve got a long stretch of tiny swell. We’re looking at waves mostly between 0.7 ft and 2 ft, coming out of the East or Southeast, with period numbers that are all over the show – sometimes a short 4 seconds, sometimes a mediocre 8 or 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is really weak, mostly sitting in the low teens to low 90s (10 to 87). That’s just not enough push to get a decent ride.
There are a few mornings where the wind goes light and clean or even glassy, like the morning of Tuesday, July 28th with 3 mph WSW winds, or Friday afternoon, July 31st with glassy conditions out of the SW. But even then, the swell is just 1 ft to 2 ft. The wave comment on every single record is “poor surf conditions” with a score of 0 out of 10. It just isn't breaking properly.
Because the swell is so small and the break is a sandbar that rarely breaks, it’s not really a goer. There’s no standout session here. With such tiny waves and periods mostly under 10 seconds, there’s no solid hold-up. This area just tends to go through quiet spells like this.
Stay patient. The sandbar might fire again when the next real groundswell shows up. Keep checking back.

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.
