Waverly Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Gotta be straight with you: for Waverly, this is a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. There’s no good surf on offer right now and it stays that way all the way through. The recommendations are basically zero, so we’re looking at a long, dry gap with no real standouts.

Right from Sunday the 5th, it’s small and messy. Tiny swell, weak energy, and onshore wind. That’s a write-off. Monday the 6th is a bit bigger but still poor – short period swell, cross-onshore, no shape. Tuesday the 7th has a moment of glassy conditions in the morning but the swell is a mere 2ft from the SSE with a period of only 5 seconds. That’s just not doing anything. Energy is weak. The rest of the week stays small or blown out. By Friday the 10th, we get some clean conditions with cross-offshore wind, but the swell is tiny – 2ft from the south. It’s clean but flat. Saturday the 11th has a brief clean window in the afternoon with light wind, but again, it’s 2ft of short-period stuff. Not worth paddling out for.

The following week doesn't bring much hope either. Early in the week, there’s a bump in size on Monday the 13th with 5ft swell from the east, and the energy picks up, but the wind is cross-shore and the period is short (6 seconds). It looks more interesting for kite surfing than for a proper surf session. Conditions stay choppy or onshore for most of the week, aside from some clean cross-offshore wind on Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th. Thursday morning the 16th actually has offshore wind from the WNW, but the swell is only 1ft from the south, so it’s a glassy but flat.

Then on Saturday the 18th, we finally see a pulse. Swell hits 5ft from the south with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy picks up. The morning has clean conditions with cross-offshore wind. This is your best bet in the whole outlook, but it’s still rated as marginal. It’s 7ft on Sunday the 19th, but the wind is cross-shore and it’s again marginal for surf quality. At that size, anything over 5ft can be too much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it might offer something if the wind lines up. Still, far from a classic.

Honestly, there’s nothing here that stands out as a must-surf session. It’s mostly flat, short-period, onshore slop. If you’re itching to get wet, the cleanest windows come on Friday the 10th and the morning of Thursday the 16th, but you’ll be bobbing around on knee-high waves. The water temperature is about 77°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a 7° anomaly. So at least you won’t freeze while you’re waiting.

Stay patient, mate. This one’s a dud.
