The week ahead, session by session.
Go early — solid & glassy till the wind comes up ~9 am.
Open-Meteo global wave model (~5 km grid). Reliable for swell arrival, size, and period; it does not know the sandbar or exact nearshore breaking height. A GO is "worth checking", never a guarantee.

7 km north of Varkala, 18 km from Kollam — a short auto or scooter ride from the cliff. A kilometre-long sand spit separates the Arabian Sea from Edava-Nadayara Lake, with a confluence bridge at the north end. A few small shops and tea stalls nearby, but facilities are simpler than the main Varkala beaches.
