The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch ahead for Abras. The whole 16-day window is basically one long, frustrating gap with no real surf on offer.
Right from Sunday the 30th of August, we’ve got a messy onshore flow. The swell is coming from the ESE at around 5.6ft, with a short, weak period of 7 seconds. The wind is hammering straight onshore at 18.6 mph, turning any potential into a complete write-off. Combined wave energy is sitting at a weak 316, and it just gets uglier from there. For the next two weeks, every single session shows "poor surf conditions" – the wind barely lets up, staying onshore or cross-onshore almost the whole time, blowing between 12.4 and 18.6 mph. The swell direction never matches what this reef wants (NE is its optimum, but we’re stuck with ESE and SE all window).
There is simply nothing to recommend. This is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area when the trade winds lock in and don’t ease off. The swell energy does climb into the moderate range mid-week (hitting 620 on Tuesday the 1st of September), but with that constant onshore wind and 9-second period, it’s all just lumpy, choppy mess. A beach break in these conditions might be fun for a kite, but for a paddle surfer at a sheltered reef like Abras, it’s a total no-go. Don’t waste your time; forecasts can change, but right now, this one’s a washout.

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.
