The Lowdown
Alright, it’s Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ for Abras.
Mate, honestly, this one’s a tough sell. The entire 16-day outlook is a flat, blown-out mess. There’s not a single session I’d be stoked to paddle out for. The first week is a write-off, and the second week doesn’t bring any relief either. You’re lookin’ at a solid 16-day gap of poor surf conditions.
The only break on the menu is Abras, a sheltered reef setup that really needs a NE swell to get its act together. Problem is, we’re getting everything but that—mostly ESE and SE windswell, with short, weak periods hangin’ around 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy never gets above moderate, peaking at 441 (moderate) on Saturday morning, 1st of August, but that comes with a 22 mph onshore wind that’s gonna ruin any chance of a decent wave. The swell is 7 ft from the SE, but with that wind, it’s just a mess.
Forget about beginners when the swell hits 7 ft—that’s expert territory, but it’s just not clean enough to be fun. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wind is relentless, onshore, and the swell is weak and short-period. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s pretty normal.
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.
