Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waverly over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for waves around Waverly (Breakwater). We’ve got a solid 16-day window in front of us, but the first half is a write-off. There’s nothing worth paddling out for from Friday the 10th right through until late Tuesday the 21st. That’s a long, flat, or just plain messy gap. But hang in there, because the second week looks like it’ll wake things up.
The water is sitting at a balmy 76°, which is over two degrees warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s noticeable – you might not need the thickest wetsuit.
The only real highlight lands on Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July. A solid SSE swell pushes in, around 6ft with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is strong at (658), so there’s proper push behind it. Winds are light offshore from the W, which is going to leave it glassy and clean. This is the pick of the bunch, but it’s still an advanced wave at that size, so it’s for experienced surfers only. The breakwater will be handling it, and you’ll get some decent shape.
Thursday morning the 23rd is a tricky one. The swell jumps up to 8ft from the SSE, with the combined energy reading a hefty (1182). That’s a lot of water moving. But the wind is cross-shore from the SSW at 20 km/h, which puts a chop on it. It’s only for experts, and with that messy wind, it’s not going to be the clean session we’re after.
Wednesday afternoon the 22nd has similar conditions but with a stronger SW wind at 30 km/h knocking the quality. Thursday afternoon the 23rd sees a drop back to 7ft, but still with that cross-shore chop.
The last few days of the window look smaller and cleaner but still just ordinary. Friday the 24th morning has 5ft from the SSE and clean cross-off winds, which is surfable, but unremarkable. Saturday the 25th morning offers a smaller 3ft S swell, clean but weak, with combined energy down to (176).
So, for the whole 16 days: forget the first 11 or 12 days. The standout is Wednesday morning, the 22nd, for a proper, clean, expert-level session. After that, it tails off.
Stay patient.
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.
