The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what we’ve got in the water.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch for us. The forecast is a bit of a dud, with hardly any rideable surf on the cards for the whole sixteen-day window. We’re looking at a long, quiet period ahead, so don’t bother rushing out the door unless you’re desperate for a float.
The first few days are a write-off. From Tuesday the 28th of July all the way through to Wednesday morning the 12th of August, it’s pretty much flat with tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy sits mostly below 100, often in the teens or low twenties, which tells you there’s just no power in the water. We’re talking ankle-to-knee high dribble, with swell heights struggling to hit 3 ft on the odd afternoon. The direction is mostly from the east, but with periods as short as 3 to 10 seconds, it’s mostly windswell or just confused junk.
Even the best of it is still poor. There’s a couple of brief, glassy mornings around the 5th and 6th of August, and again on the 11th and 12th, which could make for a clean-looking surface, but the waves are still tiny – 1.0 ft to 2 ft. Not worth paddling out for. The wind does swing offshore on some mornings, particularly a light southwesterly or westerly, but with no swell to work with, it’s just teasing us.
The only spot we’ve got on the map is Wabasso, a sandbar setup. It’s a rare-breaking spot and tends to be fickle, so a run like this isn’t a huge surprise. The optimum swell direction here is from the north-northeast, but we’re seeing mostly easterly windswell, so the angle is off. If you’re an absolute beginner and just want to sit in the whitewater, you could get out on a few of those glassy mornings, but for anyone else, leave your board at home.
There’s nothing that qualifies as a standout. If you’re into kite surfing and we somehow get a bit of breeze with a tiny pulse, maybe it’s worth a look, but for proper paddle surfing, this stretch is a barren one. Keep an eye on the long-range – forecasts can shift.
Stay patient.

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.
