The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with it – we’ve got a pretty bleak run ahead at Waverly. The first few days are a write-off, with nothing worth paddling out for. Sunday the 2nd is a mess: cross-on winds, tiny 3ft SSE slop and weak energy (25). That carries on through Monday the 3rd, but hold up – Monday morning actually shows a pulse. We see 6ft SSE swell at 8 seconds, with a clean westerly cross-off breeze. It’s a short-period windswell but the combined energy jumps to 618, which is moderate to strong. The guidance says Waverly is a breakwater, very consistent, and handles south-east swell best. For the advanced crew, Monday morning on the 3rd is your only real window. After that, the combo drops off fast.
Tuesday the 4th through to Sunday the 9th is mostly poor: tiny waves, cross-shore chop, and combined energy under 100 most of the time. There’s a brief moment on Saturday the 8th morning – glassy conditions, 3ft from SSW, with combined energy at 93 – but it’s barely surfable. The rest is a dead zone of weak 1ft to 2ft slop and junk winds.
From Monday the 10th right through to Monday the 17th, it’s all below 3ft, short-period scraps, and mostly clean but tiny. Don’t get excited – the energy readings are in the teens and twenties. It’s a two-week drought with only that one Monday 3rd morning standout.
To wrap it: Monday the 3rd of August, morning session is the pick of the whole outlook. 6ft SSE, clean offshore wind, and moderate-to-strong energy for a breakwater wave. Bring your A-game and a shortboard. Everything else is a flat spell.

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.
