The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Abras. I’m looking at the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch. This is a sheltered reef setup that really wants wind from the WNW to be clean, and we just aren’t getting anything close to that. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off.
The problem is a relentless onshore wind from the ESE and SE, blowin’ 15 to 19 mph every day. That’s gonna put a nasty chop and bump on everything. The swell’s there, don’t get me wrong—running around 5 ft to 6 ft—but it’s short-period windswell, mostly 5 to 8 seconds, coming from the same lousy direction as the wind. The combined energy hangs between 121 and 458 (moderate at best), but with the onshore wind, the surf quality is just plain poor. No day steps up as a standout.
Tuesday the 8th starts it off: some clouds, 5 ft from the ESE, period a weak 5 seconds, and that fresh breeze ruining it. Afternoon picks up to 6 ft, but the same story. Wednesday the 9th through the rest of the week and into the next is more of the same. The wind backs off just a touch to a moderate breeze occasionally, but it’s still onshore or cross-onshore. By Sunday the 13th, the wind shifts cross-on from the SE and it's lumpy.
Abras is an inconsistent spot anyway, and with conditions like this, you’d be lucky to find a clean wave. There are no good options here. This is one of those stretches where the forecasts can change, but right now, it looks more like a kite-surfing session than a paddle session. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
