The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. I’ve had a good look at the charts for the coming weeks, and well, I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a tough one for Abras (Reef). This is a sheltered spot, and it’s really picky about the direction, needing a swell from the NE to fire properly. We’re not getting that at all.
The whole 16-day window is basically a blown-out mess. The wind is howling from the east and southeast, almost constantly onshore or cross-onshore, with speeds from 12 mph all the way up to 22 mph. That’s a fresh breeze, and it’s going to turn any potential wave into a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined energy builds up over the period, climbing from a weak 51 all the way up to a moderate 438 by the 10th of August, so there’s definitely push in the water, but the quality is just not there. The swell direction is all wrong, and the wind is relentless.
The water temp is sitting at 81°F with a +0.5°F anomaly, so it’s pretty much average for the time of year. The surf is consistently described as "poor surf conditions" with a score of 0 out of 10 for every single time slot. There is simply no good option on offer here. You’d be battling onshore chop from the first day, 27th of July, right through to the 11th of August. It’s a long, blank run with no standouts. For a reef that’s already inconsistent, this is a more normal kind of quiet spell.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the swell does get over 5 ft by the 1st of August, hitting 5 ft, but with that onshore wind, it’ll be a washing machine. Honestly, with that sort of wind and the setup here, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The only thing to do is wait for the charts to change.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
