The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the next couple of weeks for Waverly. It's a bit of a slow start, gotta be honest.
We're looking at a run of days with just tiny, weak swell. The energy is low, barely making a splash. The swell is small, coming in from the southeast, but the period is short and the wind is messy. Honestly, the first week is a write-off for any kind of proper surfing. The water temp is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Alright, so here's the deal. The first proper chance you'll get to even think about paddling out is on Wednesday, the 2nd of September. Even then, it's just surfable. The swell bumps up a touch to 3ft from the southeast, and the wind goes offshore from the west-northwest in the morning, so the surface will be clean. The energy is still weak, so don't expect any bombs.
The best of the whole outlook comes later on Thursday, the 3rd of September. In the afternoon, the swell picks up to 3ft from the east-southeast. The wind is a solid offshore from the northwest, giving you clean, lined-up waves. The energy is moderate, so there's a bit more push. This is your standout window.
After that, Friday the 4th still has some clean, offshore conditions in the morning with 3ft swell from the east-southeast, but the energy drops back. Then it's pretty much back to small, messy, and onshore winds from the north and east for the rest of the outlook. So, if you want a wave, target that Thursday afternoon. Otherwise, it's a pretty flat run. Signing off, 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.
