Right then, let's have a look at what Waverly's got cookin' for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's a pretty bleak picture overall. We're lookin' at a solid 16-day run with zero recommendations, which is a real tough beat for this spot.

The forecast shows a whole lotta nothing, with the swell energy rarely gettin' past weak to moderate. The combined energy readings are mostly in the 60s and 70s (weak), with only a couple of days touchin' the low 100s (moderate). That's just not enough grunt to get any proper waves goin'.

Right from Tuesday the 7th, we've got tiny, short-period windswell from the ENE at a measly 3 ft with a 6-second period. That's a recipe for weak, choppy slop, especially with a moderate breeze blowin' cross-shore. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The whole first week is much the same story – small pulses of swell, mostly from the east, but it's all short-period junk. The best wind we see is a few sessions of clean, cross-offshore breeze, like Friday the 10th and Monday the 13th, but the swell is just too pathetic to do anythin' with. We're lookin' at waves barely pushin' 1.0 ft to 2 ft. Not worth wettin' a wetsuit for.

The second week doesn't get any better. There's a slight bump in the swell around Tuesday the 21st, where it touches 3 ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy climbs to a moderate 107. But it's straight onshore from the east, and still short-period. It'll be a mess.

In short, my friends, this is one of those blank runs for Waverly. The setup is just flat, and the few scraps of energy we get are poorly directed and blown out. It's not gonna stay this poor forever, forecasts can change, but for now, paddleboards are gonna be gatherin' dust. Not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window.

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.

Waverly is 3 km (2 miles) from Ocean City. If you plan a vacation in New Jersey, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ocean City. Ocean City has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
