The Lowdown
Grab your board and let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Adraga. Honestly, it’s going to be a real test of patience. The first stretch is a write-off: we’ve got onshore winds and messy, weak surf that’s not worth your time. For over a week, it’s just choppy, lumpy, and lacking any real push. You’d be fighting a losing battle out there. The water is sitting at 68°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re getting skunked.
The first few days, through to about the 8th, are pure frustration. Swell is small and onshore winds just shred it to bits. We see the energy pick up a bit around the 5th and 6th, but the wind is howling from the north-northwest, making everything lumpy and closing out. The combined energy gets into the 200s and even 400s on the 7th (426), but it’s short-period, wind-driven stuff that just means more mess. Not good.
We get a slight reprieve in the middle of the month, but it’s still not clean. From the 12th to the 16th, the swell stays around 5 ft and the period stretches out to 8-9 seconds. It’s better, but the wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be pretty. The energy is moderate, hovering in the mid-300s (357 on the 12th), but it’s just not translating into clean surf.
Alright, now for the light at the end of the tunnel. Keep your eyes on Monday, the 17th of August, in the morning. This is the standout of the whole run. We’ve got a clean 5 ft NW swell, but the magic is in the wind: a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW. That’s the kind of wind that puts a smile on your face.
Adraga is a beach and reef setup that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the WNW, which is exactly what this swell is. The light offshore wind will groom it into proper shape. The combined energy will be around 337, which is moderate, but the clean conditions are what’s going to make it. This is your window. It’s a day where the ocean finally works with us instead of against us. The afternoon looks like it gets a bit cross-shore, so the morning is your best bet. After over a week of junk, this is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s still a week and a half out, so treat it as promising, not guaranteed, but it’s the only real shot we’ve got.

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.
