The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Waverly over the next 16 days.
To be straight with you, the outlook is pretty grim. There’s not a single decent surf day in the whole window. The first record kicks off Wednesday the 22nd of July, but the swell is weak and the conditions are all over the shop. We’ve got a small 4ft south swell with a short period of 8 seconds and a combined energy reading of 165. The wind is cross-off, so the face is clean, but the wave quality is just poor. It’s a breakwater setup, and the swell is too weak to do anything with.
From there, it’s a real run of flat, windy, or messy days. Thursday morning the 23rd drops to 3ft, and the wind swings cross. The swell is tiny and the energy drops to 80. Friday the 24th through to the end of July is a string of tiny, onshore-affected slop, with heights as low as 1ft and periods as low as 5 seconds. The combined energy sits in the low double digits – pathetic, really. The first week is a complete write-off, with no break worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn’t offer any hope either. The first week of August sees the same story: tiny swell, poor surf conditions, and mostly cross or cross-on winds. The biggest swell we see is 3ft on Monday the 3rd of August, but it’s cross-onshore, choppy, and the energy is only 74. Even the glassy morning on the 1st of August has only 1ft of swell. There’s nothing to get excited about.
Given the persistent lack of quality surf, and the fact that the break is a breakwater, the setup is honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those days with any wind. It’s a rough patch, but these blank runs happen sometimes in this area. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
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.
