Adraga Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be upfront: the next sixteen days at Adraga are a write-off for quality surfing. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap with zero good options. The first record shows a shot on the 25th of July, but even then it’s a no-go—cross-onshore wind, weak 6 ft swell with a short period of 7 seconds, and combined energy sitting at a moderate 311. The water’s a warm 70°, about average for the time of year, but that doesn’t save it.

From that Saturday morning on the 25th all the way through to the end of the outlook on the 9th of August, every single session is either “poor surf conditions” or “marginal” at best. The wind is almost always cross-onshore, often from the NNW or N, and it’s frequently a fresh breeze, sometimes even a strong breeze. The swell is all over the place—mostly short-period, choppy windswell. Even the few days where the period stretches to 10 seconds (like the 28th of July) are ruined by onshore wind. The biggest swells show up on the 5th of August (7 ft to 7 ft from the NW) with combined energy jumping to 754 and then 783, but the cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions turn a potentially fun swell into a mess. That kind of size with that wind is more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.

There are two “marginal” calls: Monday morning the 27th of July with 4 ft and a 7-second period, and Tuesday morning the 4th of August with 4 ft and a 9-second period. But both still have cross-onshore wind. You’d be scratching for anything rideable.

Honestly, this is a blank run. The break is fairly consistent by nature, but the conditions just aren’t lining up. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. Hang loose and wait for a better window.
