Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waverly over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down. Over the full 16-day window, Waverly is a total bust. No good surf at all. Not a single session worth paddling out for.
Starting Monday, 13 July, and all the way through to Tuesday, 28 July, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell is flat to tiny, 0.3m to 0.9m, with periods under 9 seconds. That’s all weak, short-period wind slop, not a real swell. The highest combined energy we see is 115 on the 20th of July, but that’s still just moderate, and it’s accompanied by a cross-onshore wind and choppy water.
The wind is mostly against you. A few clean moments pop up, like the Wednesday morning of the 22nd of July with a light offshore breeze and 0.5m swell, but that’s a knee-high nothing burger. The rest is cross, cross-on, or onshore, with moderate to fresh winds and even some thunderstorms. The swell direction is mainly S, SSE, or SE, which matches the optimum for Waverly, but when the swell is that weak, direction doesn’t matter.
For a breakwater spot, you need some power. There’s no power. Water temp is about average for the time of year. Honestly, this is more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle-surfing one. It’s a quiet spell for the area, but a long one. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
