G'day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with ya – it's a shocker. The next couple of weeks are lookin' grim for a proper paddle. We've got one spot, Waverly (a breakwater setup), and the charts are showin' next to no wave energy for the entire run. The first surfable day is just a ghost, so we're lookin' at a long, dry spell.
Right from Thursday the 3rd, we get a glimpse of something with a 0.7ft swell, but it's so weak it's barely a ripple. The energy reading is a measly 20, and the water is a touch warmer than normal for July at 73°, but you won't be needin' a wetsuit 'cause you won't be paddlin'. The rest of the first week is more of the same – tiny, weak swells from the S and SE, all under 2ft, with combined energy readings stayin' in the doldrums, mostly under 60. Winds are mixed, with a bit of glass on Friday morning, but the lack of any push from the ocean makes it a write-off. Even Wednesday, July 8th, shows a slight bump to 4ft from the ENE with energy hittin' 119 – considered moderate – but it's wind-affected with a light cross-onshore breeze, so the quality's still a no-go.
Into the second week, it’s the same story. Swells stay tiny, barely reachin' 3ft, and the combined energy barely cracks 60 on a good day. There's a clean moment on Saturday the 11th with a wee 2ft S swell and a gentle offshore from the WNW, but it's just too weak to get excited over. Honestly, there's nothing here that'll get your heart racin'. The breakwater setup is very consistent, but consistent flatness is still flat. For a bloke itchin' to paddle, it’s a tough stretch. If you're a kite surfer, these light, variable winds and small ripples might be more your game, but for a surf, stay home and wax your board for next month. This is just one of those blanks the area serves up.
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.
