Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waverly over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s coming up at Waverly. I’ve had a look at the charts, and I gotta be straight with you: this is a grim run. The whole 16-day window is an absolute write-off. There is not a single session I can point to and say, “Yeah, get out there.” Every single entry in the forecast is marked as poor surf conditions, and the scores reflect that. Don’t bother checking the cams for the next two and a half weeks.
We’re looking at a stretch of tiny, weak, and messy surf broken up by a few days of glassy conditions that still only offer knee-high slop. The combined swell energy barely cracks triple digits for the whole period, with most readings stuck in the pathetic 14 to 138 range. That’s a lot of wind for very little payoff.
The only silver lining is a couple of brief windows of clean conditions. On Friday morning, July 10th, we get a moment of calm, glassy water with the wind going dead calm. But the swell is a measly 2 ft from the SSE with a period of just 6 seconds. That’s barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit, but you will need a lot of patience.
Then on Thursday morning, July 16th, we get another glass-off with no wind at all. The swell is 2 ft from the SSE, but it’s still a short-period, weak energy (68) wave. It’s clean, but it’s not offering any power.
For the rest of the time, it’s a constant battle of onshore, cross-onshore, and cross-shore winds from the ENE, E, and SE, keeping the surface choppy and bumpy. Even when the wind swings offshore on the 21st, the swell is a pathetic 2 ft. The break itself is a breakwater, so it gets some protection, but it just isn’t working with the swell we have.
Do not waste your time. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing when the wind is up, but for paddle surfing, this is a total bust. Keep your gear in the shed, and check back in a week or so. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to see.
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.
