Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you—this outlook’s a long wait for a short window. We’re staring at over a week of junk before anything worth paddling for shows up. From Sunday, July 5th right through to Friday, July 17th, the surf’s flat or blown out, with tiny swell and messy wind. It’s a grim stretch, no two ways about it. But then, on Saturday the 18th, we finally get a pulse.
The standout is Waverly on Saturday the 18th. Morning’s the call—we’ve got a clean 5.6 ft swell pushing in from the south, with a period of 8 seconds. Winds are light and offshore from the southwest, so the face will be smooth. The combined energy’s cranking at 616 (strong), and that’s proper juice for a breakwater. This is for advanced surfers only—5.6 ft is pushing into expert territory, and the power’s there. Afternoon turns a bit messy as the wind swings and strengthens, so get it early.
Sunday the 19th still has some fun-sized leftovers—3.9 ft from the SSE, also clean in the morning—but the energy drops to 210 (moderate). It’s a consolation session compared to Saturday.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report.
So, one true standout: Saturday the 18th morning at Waverly. Set the alarm.

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.
