G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – it’s a grim outlook for Abras. There’s not a single surfable day in the whole 16-day window. The first record kicks off Monday 6 July, but there’s nothing to get excited about. You’ll need to wait through a solid 16 days of no-go surf. That’s a long, frustrating gap. The breaks here are inconsistent at the best of times, so a blank run like this isn’t unusual for the area – forecasts can shift, but right now it’s all poor.
Looking at Abras (reef break), the water’s sitting at 82°, which is about average for this time of year – no weird anomaly to blame. The wind’s hammering from the east and southeast, mostly onshore or cross-onshore at 12 to 19 mph, which trashes any chance of clean waves. The swell is small – 3 ft to 6 ft – coming from the east or southeast, but the periods are short, 5 to 9 seconds, meaning weak, bumpy mush with no power. The combined energy never gets beyond moderate – topping out at 616 (moderate) on Monday 20 July afternoon – but it’s all messy and cross-onshore. That 6 ft to 7 ft swell on 20 July looks bigger, but it’s blown out by strong cross-onshore winds, making it a kite-surfing setup more than a paddle session. Even the 7 ft on Monday afternoon is for experts only due to size, but the quality’s gone.
No standout break here – not a single wave worth paddling for. I’d save the petrol and check back later. Keep an eye on the long-range, 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.
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.
