Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waverly over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Waverly.
It’s a rough start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until July 21st – that’s a long dry spell. The water temp is 25°, which is much warmer than usual for the season – over 3° above average, so you’ll be fine in a shorty.
The first chance of a wave comes Monday morning, July 21st. It’s glassy – dead calm – which is great. Swell is 3ft from the ENE, short period of 7 seconds, and moderate energy (122). It’s surfable but nothing special. Afternoon is similar with 3ft ENE swell and glassy conditions again (101 energy). That’s your only real window in the 16-day forecast, and it’s not much to write home about.
After that, it’s back to onshore wind and chop. From the 22nd through the 26th, the swell builds – up to 6ft from the east on the 23rd and 24th with strong energy (228 to 263) – but the wind stays cross-onshore and choppy. On the 25th, the energy hits 489 with 4ft to 4ft from the SE and ESE, but it’s lumpy and onshore. That’s more for the kite crowd than paddle surfers.
So, bottom line: the 21st is the only shot – clean, small, and glassy, but don’t expect much. The rest is either flat or blown out. This is pretty normal for an exposed spot like Waverly when the wind doesn’t line 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.
