Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waverly over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Waverly. We’re looking at a pretty barren run for the next little while, so don’t bother rushing to wax up just yet.
The first week and a half is basically a write-off. From Sunday the 12th right through to Saturday the 25th, the wave energy is pitiful, mostly junk with weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy barely cracks triple digits, and most of the time it’s down in the dumps – like 57 for that first Sunday morning. Winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the water’s a mess. There’s a couple of glassy moments on Tuesday the 14th morning, but with only 1 ft of swell, it’s barely a ripple. Even the cleanest days, like Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, the swell is just too small to do anything with. We’re talking a solid 13-day stretch of poor surf conditions.
Now, here’s where it gets a bit interesting, but don’t get your hopes up too high. Sunday the 27th of July, we finally see a pulse of energy. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the South, with a combined energy of 413 – that’s a solid moderate push. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the East at 12 mph, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. This is a beach break and it’s not going to handle a south swell well with that wind. Honestly, with that setup, this looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. For a surfer, it’s still a “poor surf conditions” call.
The long and short of it? There’s nothing to chase here. No standout breaks, no clean windows with decent size. For Waverly, it’s just a blank run that’s pretty normal for this time of year. Keep the board in the car and wait for the forecasts to change.
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.
