The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check what’s on the menu at Waverly over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, it’s looking pretty lean. The first week is mostly flat and uninspiring. The swell is tiny and all over the place, with poor conditions. Might get a skim on Tuesday the 8th morning if you’re keen, with 0.7ft clean waves and light offshore wind, but that’s about it. The rest is barely worth a mention: 1.0ft to 1ft, short period, and crossed-up wind.
We start seeing a pulse around Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th – combined energy around 100 and 82, with swell around 4ft from the south and east, but it’s still short-period and the wind is cross to cross-off. Not exactly setting the world on fire.
The biggest change hits from Friday the 18th through Sunday the 20th. The swell builds quickly, especially on Saturday the 19th morning, when we get 7ft from the ENE at 9 seconds and an energy reading of 1014, which is serious. But it comes with strong cross-onshore winds, making it lumpy and choppy at the breakwater. That kind of setup is more for the kite crew than clean surfing. By Monday the 21st, the swell drops back to 2ft with onshore breeze, so it’s back to the quiet life.
Best bet? Tuesday the 8th morning if you want clean and tiny. For the brave, Saturday the 19th has the biggest swell, but be ready for a battle. Only for the experienced ones.
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.
