The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase – the next 16 days at Adraga are a write-off. We’re staring down a long stretch of bad wind and wrong-direction swell. There’s no real surf coming in.
Starting Thursday, July 30th, the afternoon brings a weak 2 ft swell from the NNW, but it’s a short 8-second period and the wind is blowing 15 mph onshore. Water temp is about normal for the season, around 68°F, but it doesn’t matter with that chop. The combined energy is a weak 95 – not enough to get excited about.
Friday, July 31st, we see a tiny 1 ft pulse from the WNW in the morning, but the wind is howling 15 mph from the north. It gets a little bigger in the afternoon, hitting 4 ft, but the period drops to a terrible 5 seconds and the wind jumps to 18 mph. Just lumpy, wind-blown slop.
The first weekend in August is a bust. Saturday the 1st has 3 ft to 4 ft of NNW swell, with moderate cross-onshore winds. The combined energy gets into the moderate range (178 to 220), but it’s all choppy. Sunday the 2nd is the same story – 4 ft swell, but it’s side-on and messy.
The whole next week doesn’t get any better. From Monday, August 3rd, through to Friday, August 14th, the swell fluctuates between 2 ft and 5 ft, with periods mostly under 9 seconds. Even when the wind drops a little on Monday the 4th morning, the swell is tiny and weak. The energy levels bounce around, hitting a low of 44 and a moderate 302 on the 10th, but the wind never cooperates. By Friday the 14th, the wind is a strong 25 mph from the north, making 5 ft of short-period, messy swell completely unrideable. To be honest, with these strong side-shore winds, it looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s nothing to highlight here. It’s a blank run. The only consistent thing is the poor conditions. It’s a bummer, but forecasts can always change. For now, I’d hang the board up.
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.
Adraga is 9 km (6 miles) from Sintra. If you plan a holiday in Lisboa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Sintra. Sintra has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
