The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking for Abras.
Straight up, it’s a tough run ahead. Abras is an advanced reef break that’s inconsistent and sheltered, needing a solid NE swell to really light up, but the whole 16-day window is getting hammered by onshore and cross-onshore winds from the ESE and SE. The swell direction is coming from the wrong angles almost the entire time, and the combined wave energy stays weak to moderate, mostly in the 200 to 300 range, nothing that really kicks. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
So, honestly, there’s no standout session in the whole outlook. The surf is consistently poor, with the wind never letting up. Every day from August 9th right through to August 24th is a write-off for clean waves at Abras. We’re talking a full two-week gap with no real recommendations. The swell hovers around 4 ft to 7 ft, but with short periods (mostly 6 to 8 seconds) and dirty wind, it’s just lumpy, choppy, and messy. Even on August 15th and 16th, when the period stretches to 11 to 13 seconds and the energy hits 416, the wind is still howling onshore at 15-19 mph. That long-period groundswell would be better suited to a point or reef that actually lines up with it, but here, it’s just blown out. A couple of days in the third week, like August 21st, see swell up to 7 ft from the ESE with moderate energy (436), but again, the wind is on it – not a wave you’d paddle out for.
Bottom line: if you’re tied to Abras, you’re waiting. It’s a blank run, and for this spot, that’s not unusual given how picky it is. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
