The Lowdown
Listen up, crew. Rusty here. We're staring down a real nasty 16-day dry spell for Waverly. The whole forecast is a long stretch of flat, weak conditions and crummy wind. I'm talking about a gap of more than two weeks with no surf worth mentioning.
It starts flat and stays flat. First record is Sunday the 19th of July. There's a tiny 0.7m south swell, but with a short 7-second period and combined energy of just 51, it's weak. The water is 25°, way warmer than average for this time of year, but that doesn't help make a wave. The wind is cross-off, but the swell is too small to care.
Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are a total write-off. Swell under 1.0m and onshore winds making a mess of it. Tuesday afternoon sees winds gusting to 19 mph, turning the ocean lumpy.
Wednesday the 22nd shows a tiny pulse with combined swell energy hitting 313 (moderate). Waves hit 1.5m with an 8-second period from the south. The wind goes offshore Wednesday afternoon, but the conditions are still labeled "surfable waves but very ordinary." Not the day to get excited.
From Thursday the 23rd on, it's back to the coma. Swell drops below 1.0m and the period stays short. We get a couple of glassy mornings on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th with calm wind, but you'd be lucky to find a wave over 0.6m. Energy readings are in the 30s and 40s—nothing.
The second week is a total flat-spell. From Sunday the 26th of July all the way to Monday the 3rd of August, we're looking at max swell of 0.6m and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. Combined energy readings drop into the teens and single digits. It's a complete bust.
Don't bother waxing up. The conditions are poor and the ocean is giving us nothing. For a spot like Waverly, which is fairly exposed, this kind of blank run is just what the area does when the weather gods aren't playing ball. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's time to fix the dings and wait.
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.
