Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the outlook for Waverly. I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one.
Right from the start of the 16-day window, things are looking grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worthwhile. The swell is tiny, the wind is on it or cross, and every single forecast entry is calling it "poor surf conditions." There’s no hiding from it: for the first week and a half, there’s nothing to get excited about. The first few days are a write-off with weak windswell under 3 ft and periods around 4 to 6 seconds. It’s just messy.
The only real pulse in the whole forecast shows up on Monday the 13th, with a bit more energy behind it. The combined swell energy jumps to 352 (moderate wave energy), but the problem is the wind. It’s a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, wrenching that 6 ft swell from the ESE into a lumpy, choppy mess. The period is a short 7 seconds too. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s just too rough for a clean ride. The water temp is a wild 77°F, which is 7°F warmer than usual – very unusual for the time of year, like swimming in a bathtub.
After that, it all fades back to tiny stuff. We do see some glassy mornings around the 16th and 18th, with winds going calm or light offshore from the WNW, but the swell is barely 2 ft to 2 ft. You’d be floating waiting for a ripple. There’s simply no standout day, no hidden gem to chase.
Look, Waverly is a breakwater break, very consistent for exposure, and it likes swell from the SE. It’s an advanced spot with crowds sometimes, but when there’s no swell, none of that matters. There are zero recommendations across the board. A blank run like this is tough, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
