The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next 16 days. We're focused on Waverly, a breakwater setup that's a good bet for advanced surfers. It's very consistent and fairly exposed to the swell, but the real story is the wind. We've got a few days of clean conditions, but a lot of it is just going to be a mess.
The best window of the whole forecast is the opening morning. On Wednesday, July 22nd, we've got a solid 6ft swell showing from the south, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the WSW, which should keep things clean. The combined energy is a moderate 722 (moderate wave energy). It's not the cleanest setup, but it's the best we're going to see for a while. This is for advanced surfers only, as that swell is pushing into the range that's a bit too much for beginners.
After that, it's a long, painful stretch. From Thursday, July 23rd, right through until Wednesday, July 29th, it's a wasteland. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the swell drops to knee-high or smaller, and the energy is weak. The wave comment pretty much says it all: "poor surf conditions". You're looking at a solid week of nothing.
The next flicker of hope comes on Thursday, July 30th, with a morning session. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNW, and we've got a 3ft swell from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is still weak at 89 (weak wave energy), but it's surfable. It's just "very ordinary conditions".
Then we hit another dry patch. Friday, July 31st, and Saturday, August 1st, the wind is messy. Saturday morning sees a brief moment of glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny. This is a kite-surfing setup if I've ever seen one.
The end of the forecast period, around Wednesday, August 5th, shows a bit more promise. We've got a 5ft swell from the SSE with a 10-second period, and a clean cross-off wind from the north. The energy is strong at 522 (strong wave energy). This is a long-range call, so treat it with a pinch of salt, but that's the one to keep an eye on. Again, that's an expert-only size.
So, to sum it up: the only true standout is the first morning, Wednesday, July 22nd. Get it while you can, because the rest of the fortnight is a write-off.
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.
