The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Waverly.
To be straight with you, this is a grim stretch. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for decent surf. There’s a gap right from the start with no real recommendations, and that gap just keeps going. The first few days are a total bust with tiny, weak swell and rubbish wind. We’re looking at a long, blank run here.
The only time the ocean even tries to wake up is around Monday the 21st of September. There’s a pulse of energy pushing through, with combined swell energy hitting moderate levels (229) on the Monday morning. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, but it’s a short period at 7 seconds, so it’s going to be pretty weak and messy. Winds are cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean, but the waves themselves will be poor. It’s not enough to save the week.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that’s worth getting excited about. The setup is flat and uninspiring. For a breakwater that’s fairly exposed, it’s just not getting the juice. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest conditions come on the Friday afternoon with glassy winds, but that’s on a tiny 1ft wave. Not exactly a standout.
This is just one of those periods where the forecast is a total dud. It’s more normal for the area to have runs like this, so don’t lose hope – forecasts can change.

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.
