Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’re in for a tough stretch. The next 16 days at Waverly are looking flat and pretty uninspiring. There simply aren't any good surf options on offer right now. The few little pulses of energy that roll through just won’t have enough size or consistency to get excited about.
Looking at the whole forecast, it’s a blank run. From Saturday July 4th all the way through to Sunday July 19th, every session is rated as poor surf conditions. The combined wave energy never really gets going, with most readings sitting under 100 – that’s weak energy. The highest reading we see is a 182 on Sunday morning, July 19th, but even that comes with a 4ft swell from the SSW at a short period of 6 seconds, which is more mushy and messy than anything quality.
Waverly is a breakwater setup and it’s very consistent here, but this run is a proper lull. When it goes this quiet for this long, it’s not unusual for the area – sometimes the ocean just turns off the tap. Keep an eye on the charts though; it tends not to stay this poor forever.
So, what’s the best of a bad bunch? Honestly, there’s no standout. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest windows with offshore wind are Tuesday morning July 7th (WNW 6 mph) with a tiny 2ft easterly swell, and Wednesday morning July 8th (N 9 mph cross-off) with a 3ft SSE swell. Both will be clean but tiny. The water temperature anomaly is not mentioned, so it’s about average for the time of year at Waverly.
Other than that, hold onto your board and wait for the next system. The conditions just aren't there.
Rusty.

Information about the Waverly Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Waverly provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Waverly can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Waverly 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 (Waverly) 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 Waverly 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.
