Table - best surf conditions forecast for Abras over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Abras is a tough one. The forecast is pretty much a write-off for good surf. This is a sheltered reef break that needs a clean NE swell, but we’re stuck with onshore E to ESE winds the whole time, and the swell is coming from the wrong direction. It’s not going to work for paddle surfing.
The water temp is sitting at 82°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole run starts Sunday July 12th and goes right through to Monday July 27th with zero decent surf. The swell is small, mostly between 3ft and 7ft, but the period is short (6 to 8 seconds), which doesn’t help. The real killer is the wind – it’s blowing onshore at 12 to 22 mph every single session, making for messy, chopped-out conditions. The combined wave energy is weak to moderate (values between 78 and 458), but it’s all useless when the wind’s ruining it.
There’s no standout. There’s no good option.
If you’re a kite surfer, the combination of moderate swell and strong side-onshore wind might get you interested, especially around July 18th to 21st when the swell bumps up to 6ft to 7ft and the energy is higher (386 to 458). But for a paddle surfer, you’re better off staying home.
Keep an eye on the longer range – things can change, but for now, Abras is a total miss.
Rusty.

Information about the Abras Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Abras provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Abras can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Abras 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 (Abras) 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 Abras 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.
