The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Abras – it’s a sheltered, inconsistent reef setup that needs everything to line up, and looking at the next 16 days, it’s just not happening. The whole forecast is a write-off for surfers. We’re talking about a solid run of "poor surf conditions" from the start, with no decent recommendations at all.
The first day, Wednesday the 2nd, kicks off with a 5 ft east-southeast swell, but it’s coming in with a 12 mph onshore breeze, making it lumpy and messy. The combined energy is moderate at best (376), and it doesn’t get any better. This pattern sticks for days. The wind is consistently onshore from the east-southeast or southeast, sometimes kicking up to 15 or 18 mph, which is just going to ruin any chance of a clean face. The swell height does bump up a bit, hitting 6 ft on Friday the 11th and again on the 16th, with combined energy climbing into the strong range (582 to 741), but the wind is still howling onshore – a fresh breeze at 18-22 mph. That’s kite-surfing breeze, not paddle-surfing breeze.
The only small glimmer of a change in the wind comes on the 7th, with a cross-onshore, but it’s still choppy. The wave period is mostly short, between 6 and 10 seconds, meaning weak, crumbly waves. The best looking swell on paper is around Thursday the 17th, with a 6 ft east-southeast swell and a 10-second period, and moderate energy (741), but that solid onshore wind from the east at 15 mph will smash it flat. For a wave that needs a clean offshore from the west-northwest, we’ve got the exact opposite. It’s a tough run.
The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. For a break that’s inconsistent and rarely works, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. It’s not a place to get excited about unless you’re a glutton for punishment. There’s no standout days here, no hidden gem. If you’re desperate, you could go for a body-surfing session, but for a real surf, you’re better off waiting for the next forecast cycle.
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.
