Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Waverly over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim picture for a good long while. We’re lookin’ at over a week of nothin’ worth paddling out for. From Monday the 6th right through to the afternoon of Thursday the 16th, it’s a write-off. Tiny, weak swell, funky wind directions, and even the morning of Thursday the 16th when we finally see some clean conditions, the swell’s just... meh. On the 16th, the wind goes offshore from the west at a stiff 19 mph, which is a great sign for clean faces, but the swell from the south is only 3 ft with a short 6-second period. Combined energy is just 73 – weak. It’s clean, but it’s not gonna be much fun.
Now, there’s a flicker of hope. On Friday the 17th, we finally get a day that’s worth a mention. The morning brings a west-northwest offshore breeze at 9 mph, and a clean 3 ft south-southeast swell with a 7-second period. The combined energy bumps up a little to 68, and it’s the first time we hit a score of 1 out of 10. The afternoon is similar, clean with a moderate offshore, and the energy climbs to 83. It’s not gonna be epic, but for the first time in over a week, the conditions are actually surfable and ordinary at worst. It’s the best we’ve got on offer across the whole 16 days.
Saturday the 18th fades back into weak territory with light offshores and a drop in swell. Everything after that is back to small and choppy.
So, what’s the standout? There’s only one, and it’s a pretty low bar. Friday the 17th of July at Waverly is your best bet. Expect clean, shoulder-high waves in the 3 ft range from the SSE, with a steady west-northwest wind keeping things tidy. It’s not gonna be pumping, but after a two-week drought, it’s the only time you’re not gonna be frustrated. Don’t expect a crowd – the conditions aren't that good.
As for the water, it’s a balmy 77°F when we start, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than normal for July. That’s very unusual, a real treat.
Stay patient, folks.
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.
