The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story in feet and miles.
Let’s be straight with you – this whole 16-day window for Abras is a write-off. There is no decent surf in sight from start to finish. It’s a grim, long run of poor conditions, so don’t bother. The first day to even consider is Friday the 11th of September, and it’s a stinker.
Friday the 11th kicks off with onshore winds from the ESE at 19 mph, pushing around a weak, short-period swell of about 6 ft. The wave energy is moderate (458), but the wind has it all chopped up. That same pattern sticks hard through the weekend. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are identical – onshore winds, swell around 5 ft to 5 ft, and everything looking blown out.
Monday the 14th offers no relief. Swell from the SE at 5 ft, but the wind is still onshore and fresh at 19 mph. It’s a mess. This continues through the 15th and 16th. The water temperature is around 80°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that isn’t a letdown.
Into the second week, it’s more of the same. Thursday the 17th sees a longer period of 11 seconds with wave energy at 475 (moderate), but it’s paired with a strong onshore breeze at 19 mph. That’s a dealbreaker. The rest of the week through the 20th is just a repeat: onshore winds, poor surf.
The only slight change is on Saturday the 26th of September when the swell pushes to 6 ft from the ESE, with wave energy at 416 (moderate), but once again, onshore winds at 16 mph spoil any chance. For a sheltered reef break like Abras that wants a NE direction, this constant ESE and SE wind and swell is all wrong.
Since this spot is a sheltered, inconsistent reef, a long blank spell like this is not unusual for the area. But honestly, with the steady onshore wind and moderate swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

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.
