The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Looking at the same 16-day stretch for Waverly, but I’ll give it to you in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, it’s a grim outlook. The whole 16 days is a real challenge. There’s a long, empty gap where there’s nothing worth mentioning. The only time you might get wet is on Monday morning, the 31st of August, and even that’s nothing to write home about.
The water is a touch warmer than usual, running at 25°.
So, Monday morning, August 31st. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the SE, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 90. The wind is light and cross-off from the north, keeping the surface clean. It’s surfable, but the waves are very ordinary. And remember, crowds are possible here sometimes.
After that, it’s back to rubbish with onshore winds and choppy seas. It’s a real bummer of a forecast. You’d be waiting a long time for just a little bit of hope.
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.
