Table - best surf conditions forecast for Abras over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next 16 days.
First thing you gotta know: it’s a tough run. The entire 16-day stretch is a write-off for decent surf. We’re talking about a solid run of poor surf conditions from July 9th all the way through to July 24th. That’s a long, blank spell with no real recommendations.
The swell is there, but it’s just not working for us. The wind is the main culprit. It’s hammering onshore from the ESE and E almost every day, mostly at 15 to 19 mph. That’s a fresh breeze, and it’s killing any chance of clean waves. The swell direction is all wrong, coming from the ESE and SE, which is the opposite of the optimum direction for Abras (which wants it from the NE). It’s a sheltered reef, so it needs a specific window, and this window is shut.
There’s a bit of a ramp-up in swell size. From around July 12th, we see it pushing 6 ft, and by July 20th into the 21st, it’s hitting 7 ft. The combined swell energy gets strong too, with values like 570 (moderate) and then 702 and 765 (strong) by July 21st and 22nd. The period stretches out to 9 and 10 seconds, which is a decent groundswell, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. At 7 ft to 7 ft, it’s getting into expert-only territory, but honestly, with the conditions, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
The water temp is at 82° for the first few days, which is about average for the time of year, with an anomaly of just 0.9°. So, not a talking point.
Honestly, for this spot, it’s one of those periods where you just have to wait it out. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
Abras is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Fernando de Noronha. If you plan a holiday in Fernando De Noronha, look for hotels and other accommodation in Fernando de Noronha. Fernando de Noronha has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
