The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at the next 16 days at Abras, and honestly, the surf report is pretty grim. The swell is coming from the southeast, but the wind is just never playing nice. It’s almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and that’s going to keep things messy.
The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are a total write-off. Friday the 24th through to the end of July, the swell is small and weak, with barely any energy (combined energy values are mostly in the double digits and low hundreds, like 249 and 150). The period is short, around 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s not even a proper groundswell. It’s just bumpy, choppy, and not worth paddling out for.
We’re looking at a gap of several days with no real surf on offer. The situation doesn't improve much heading into the first week of August. On the 1st of August, the swell picks up a bit, with some energy in the 300s and 500s, but it’s accompanied by strong onshore winds and the risk of thunderstorms. The waves will be lumpy and difficult.
The wind is the big problem here. It’s coming from the east and southeast, and it’s either onshore or cross-onshore almost the entire time. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is a slight chance of cleaner conditions around the 4th and 5th of August when the wind shifts to a more onshore direction, but it’s still fresh to moderate breeze. The swell height will be around 5ft to 6ft, but with the wind, it’s going to be a mess.
Given the persistent onshore wind and the beach/reef setup, this window is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The swell energy is there, but the quality just isn’t.
For a true standout, there’s nothing here. The forecast is consistently poor, and that’s a bit more normal for this area when the wind won’t cooperate. We might see a change, but for now, the board stays in the car.
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.
