Table - best surf conditions forecast for Adraga over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, let's get into it. Rusty here, looking at the forecast for our local stretch.
To be honest, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell on our hands. The first few days of the forecast are a bit of a write-off for a decent paddle. We’re looking at small, weak swell and choppy conditions. The energy is barely registering, with values sitting in the double digits (73) for the first few windows. It’s not looking good for a surf.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Sunday the 12th. It’s nothing huge, but it’s our best bet for a little while. The morning at Adraga is looking glassy with a light SSW breeze of 3 mph. The swell is a clean 3 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (163). It’s not going to be epic, but for a Sunday morning surf with clean conditions, it’s definitely the standout of the early period. The water temp is 67°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
After that, we go back into a very poor patch. The wind swings onshore and the swell stays small and weak. The energy drops back to the double digits and low hundreds. It’s a frustrating stretch of days.
Now, looking further out, there’s something that could be a real ripper, but it's a long way off and we have to be cautious. The morning of Wednesday the 24th at Adraga is showing a much bigger pulse of swell. We’re looking at a solid 8 ft from the NNW with a 9-second period. The energy is very strong (805). The wind is forecast to be light and cross-off from the ENE at 9 mph, which would give us clean, lined-up waves. However, the swell is getting big. At 8 ft it’s in the expert territory. Also, the period is only 9 seconds, so it will be a bit of a wall of water rather than a long-period groundswell. This is a promising one, but it’s a week and a half away, so don’t pencil it in just yet. The rest of the second week is a write-off, with strong onshore winds and messy conditions.
So, to sum it up: Sunday morning for a glassy small-wave session, and keep an eye on that Wednesday the 24th for a potential big-wave day for the experienced crew.
Rusty.

Information about the Adraga Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Adraga provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Adraga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Adraga 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 (Adraga) 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 Adraga 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.
