The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Abras.
Honestly, this is shaping up to be a proper bust. For a reef break that’s a standout when it’s on, especially with an ideal NE swell direction, we’re looking at a long, bleak stretch. There’s not a single decent window in the whole 16-day outlook. The sea breeze is going to be a problem every single day, blowing straight onshore from the ESE or SE, and that’s just going to chop everything up.
From Saturday the 5th right the way through to Sunday the 20th of September, it’s all poor surf conditions. The swell is hanging around the 4 ft to 6 ft mark from the ESE or SE, which is coming from the complete wrong direction for this spot. Periods are short too, mostly 6 to 9 seconds, so there’s no shape or power behind it. The combined energy does push into the moderate range a few times, hitting 414 on Thursday the 10th and 492 on Friday the 11th, but with the wind howling at 15 to 22 mph right into the face, it’s just messy, blown-out junk. Not a single morning or afternoon shows an offshore or glassy wind.
This is a classic example of a spot that can be world-class, but when it’s out of sync, it’s a complete waste of time. If you’re a kite surfer, this setup might look interesting with that consistent onshore wind and decent-sized swell, but for a paddle surfer, you’d be better off staying home. It’s a blank run for us.
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.
