Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waverly over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. To be real with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet for Waverly. This breakwater spot is rated for advanced surfers and it’s very consistent, but we’re not seeing the swell or the quality to back that up for a while. The first decent window of surf is a long way off, and even then it’s got its issues.
Right now, from Thursday the 9th through to the end of the first week, the swell is tiny. We’re talking knee-high dribble at best, with a few days of clean offshore or glassy conditions on the 10th and 11th, but the waves just aren’t there. The energy is weak, around 34 to 55 (combined energy), and the period is short and choppy. It’s a pure flat spell – nothing to get excited about. There’s a long gap of poor surf here, lasting about 12 days.
The only real standout in the whole 16-day window hits around Tuesday the 21st of July. We get a solid pulse of swell from the SSE, pushing about 7 ft on the morning with a combined energy of 512 – that’s strong wave energy. This is expert territory, way too big for beginners. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a shorter period windswell, and with a cross-shore wind, it’ll be a bit of a mess. The afternoon drops to about 6 ft with 385 energy, still big, but the wind turns more cross-onshore, so it’s going to be choppy and lumpy. For a breakwater spot, this size with these winds won’t be clean, but if you’re an experienced charger, there’ll be some raw power to play with. The water temperature is sitting at 77°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5° above average, so that’s a bonus for the session.
Before that, on Wednesday the 22nd, we get a drop to about 4 ft from the SE with a cross-offshore wind in the morning and 165 energy, which is moderate. The wind cleans it up, but the swell is dropping fast. Later that same day, the wind swings cross-shore and the energy jumps to 260, but it’s a short period and the surface will be a bit scrambled.
Honestly, if you’re not an expert, wait for something else. This setup on the 21st is the only time the swell gets over 5 ft, and with the wind, it’s a tough call. For the rest of the outlook, it’s flat or tiny. That’s the story for Waverly right now.

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.
