G’day, Rusty here. Gotta say, the outlook is pretty bleak for the next couple of weeks. The entire 16-day forecast is a washout, with no decent surf on offer. We’re starting with a long, empty stretch, and there’s nothing to recommend from now through mid-July.

Honestly, there’s not a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The first bit of size shows up on Friday, July 3rd, with Abras seeing a 7ft swell from the ESE, but it’s got a short 10-second period and a fresh 19 mph onshore wind straight from the east. The water is sitting at 83°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – a noticeable warm patch, but it won’t clean up the waves. That east wind just tears the surface apart. The combined energy is moderate (828), but it’s all wasted. Every day after that is the same story—poor surf, onshore winds, and weak, short-period junk. The swell runs between 3ft and 8ft, but the period rarely cracks 9 seconds, and the wind never gives us a break. For a sheltered reef like Abras, which wants a NE swell, this ESE wind is about the worst direction you can get.

There are a few days where the swell drops below 3ft with almost no energy (down to 71 by July 17th). Even the bigger days, like the 8ft on Saturday morning, July 4th, are hammered by onshore gusts and cross-onshore winds in the afternoon. This setup looks more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle surf session with that steady onshore breeze and lumpy conditions. Don’t hold out for a change until maybe the third week, but the pattern stays locked in. For this area, a blank run is pretty normal when the wind sets in from the east, so I wouldn’t get my hopes up. It often doesn't stay this poor for long, but right now, it's a complete write-off.

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.
