The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Wabasso. I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough run. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until the end of August, and even then, it’s a real struggle. There’s a long stretch here with just nothing worth paddling out for. The forecast shows a few moments where the swell tries to show up, but the wind and quality just aren’t cooperating.
The only break on the radar is Wabasso itself, a sandbar setup that rarely breaks. It’s exposed, but the optimum swell direction is from the NNE, and we just don’t see that coming through with any real punch. The whole period is plagued by poor surf conditions, with the combined swell energy staying weak to moderate at best. You’ll see numbers like 40, 57, 56—all under 100, meaning the energy is just gone. There’s a brief spike on Monday afternoon, August 31st, when the combined energy hits 128 (moderate), but the wind is onshore at 15 mph from the ENE, and it’s labeled as poor surf. That’s a no-go.
The best chance, if you’re desperate, comes around Wednesday morning, September 2nd. It’s clear skies, with a light breeze from the ENE at 6 mph, but it’s cross-onshore. The swell is 2 ft from the east at 11 seconds—longer period, which hints at some shape, but the energy is still weak at 99. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing crazy. Still, the break is inconsistent, and the quality is poor. You’d be fighting for a ride.
Later in the week, there’s a moment on Thursday afternoon, September 3rd, with a cross-offshore breeze from the SSE at 12 mph, and the swell is 3 ft from the ESE. The energy is even weaker at 64. It’s clean, but it’s not enough to get excited about. Honestly, the whole run is a blank. If you’re a kite surfer, the wind might be more interesting than anything you’d catch on a paddle board—especially with the onshore and cross-onshore breeze patterns. For us surfers, this is a waiting game. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, there’s nothing to recommend.
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.
