Waverly Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the outlook for Waverly. I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one.

Right from the start of the 16-day window, things are looking grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worthwhile. The swell is tiny, the wind is on it or cross, and every single forecast entry is calling it "poor surf conditions." There’s no hiding from it: for the first week and a half, there’s nothing to get excited about. The first few days are a write-off with weak windswell under 3 ft and periods around 4 to 6 seconds. It’s just messy.

The only real pulse in the whole forecast shows up on Monday the 13th, with a bit more energy behind it. The combined swell energy jumps to 352 (moderate wave energy), but the problem is the wind. It’s a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, wrenching that 6 ft swell from the ESE into a lumpy, choppy mess. The period is a short 7 seconds too. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s just too rough for a clean ride. The water temp is a wild 77°F, which is 7°F warmer than usual – very unusual for the time of year, like swimming in a bathtub.

After that, it all fades back to tiny stuff. We do see some glassy mornings around the 16th and 18th, with winds going calm or light offshore from the WNW, but the swell is barely 2 ft to 2 ft. You’d be floating waiting for a ripple. There’s simply no standout day, no hidden gem to chase.

Look, Waverly is a breakwater break, very consistent for exposure, and it likes swell from the SE. It’s an advanced spot with crowds sometimes, but when there’s no swell, none of that matters. There are zero recommendations across the board. A blank run like this is tough, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
