The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s happening with this spot.
We’re looking at Wabasso, and to be straight with you, it’s a tough stretch ahead. This is a sandbar that rarely breaks, so the fact we’re seeing a long run of poor conditions isn’t a big surprise – it’s just how this place rolls. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is pretty much spot on for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Right from the start, from Friday 4th September right through to the end of the week, there’s almost nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at tiny swell – 0.7ft to 1ft – with short periods and weak combined wave energy, usually under 50. The wind is all over the place, but mostly cross or cross-on, keeping things messy. Saturday and Sunday mornings have a bit of clean surface, but with waves that small, it’s not worth paddling out.
The first real glimmer shows up on Monday 14th September. The morning session has a glassy surface and the swell lifts a touch to 4ft out of the ENE, with moderate wave energy (157). It’s still pretty ordinary, but it’s surfable – the kind of wave you’d take if you’re desperate. The afternoon gets choppy again, so that morning window is the only chance.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak stuff until Friday 18th September. That morning, we get glassy conditions again with a 3ft ENE swell and moderate energy (123). Not a classic, but clean. Then Saturday 19th September morning also offers a glassy 4ft NE swell (127). Both of those are the best on offer, but they’re still just “surfable” – nothing to write home about.
Honestly, the standout here is the Monday 14th September morning window. Glassy, 4ft from the ENE, and it’s the first real clean surf after a long dry spell. The Saturday 19th morning is similar. These are your two best bets, but keep the expectations low – it’s a sandbar that rarely breaks, and the quality is only just enough to get wet.
Stay patient, and check back in a few days. Forecasts can change.

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.
