Adraga Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Adraga.

Right off the bat, we’ve got some good news. The water’s sitting at 65°, but that’s a solid 4° colder than normal for this time of year. You’ll want a thicker steamer if you’re heading out.

The next few days, though, are a write-off for anything decent. We’re looking at a stretch from Sunday the 13th right through to Saturday the 19th where the conditions are just blown out. It’s mostly onshore, choppy and messy, with that strong north wind ruining any chance of a clean wave. A couple of days have some chest to head-high swell, but with the wind howling cross-onshore at 28 mph on Wednesday the 16th, that’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The energy is strong, reading 1356 on Wednesday morning, but it’s all for nothing with the wind.

Now, the first true standout comes on Saturday the 19th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Saturday morning is looking special. We’ve got a clean 6 ft swell from the northwest, with a long 14-second period pushing in a heap of energy (1694). The wind is light and cross-off from the northeast. This is excellent for experienced surfers. It’s a bit on the big side for beginners, but for anyone who knows what they’re doing, this is the pick of the whole forecast. Expect clean, powerful lines off the points and reef at Adraga. Keep in mind, this is an exposed spot and with a long period like that, the sets will be well-spaced.

If you miss that window, the following morning, Sunday the 20th, is also very promising. Another clean morning with a 6 ft NW swell, a 12-second period, and a light cross-off breeze from the ESE. The energy is still solid at 792, offering very good surf conditions without the raw power of the day before.

The next week looks more mixed. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd both have clean mornings on offer with some waist to chest-high swell, but the afternoons are blown out by an onshore breeze. Tuesday morning is especially nice, with 5 ft of NW groundswell and glassy conditions. Wednesday the 23rd morning is also worth a look, with a 5 ft swell and a light offshore from the southeast keeping things clean.

After that, it really fades out. From Thursday the 24th onwards, the swell drops right off and the window for anything decent closes. There’s a tiny bump of a 2 ft NW swell on Monday the 28th, but it’s nothing to write home about.

To sum it up: grit your teeth through this week, and get ready for a proper session on the morning of Saturday the 19th. That’s the best you’ll see for a while.

Rusty.
