The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve looked over the charts for the coming weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for Wabasso. This spot is a sandbar that rarely breaks, and unfortunately, that’s the story here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. There isn’t a single session that’s worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a solid two and a half weeks of flat-to-puny conditions. The swell is tiny, the energy is weak, and the wind is mostly on it or cross-shore.
The only real pulse of energy shows up around Wednesday the 9th of September, but even then, the swell height only nudges up to 3ft from the ENE. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s weak, windswell stuff, and the wind is cross or cross-on. It’s messy. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is about 1° cooler than average, so nothing wild there.
Every single day after that is just more of the same: tiny 0.7ft to 2ft waves, mostly from the E or ESE, with periods that are either short or just average. The wind is almost always cross-on, onshore, or occasionally cross, which just chops up what little ripple there is. We even get a couple of glassy or clean mornings on the 12th and 13th, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s not surfable. For a break that rarely breaks, this is a completely blank run. It’s not unusual for the area to go quiet like this, but it’s still a bummer. There’s nothing here for a surfer. Maybe check back in a few weeks.

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.
