The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real about this stretch of coast. The model’s got a 16-day window, but for the first ten days or so, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at a long, painful gap of poor surf conditions straight out of the gate.
Starting Thursday the 23rd through the end of the month, it’s mostly small, onshore junk. Thursday morning shows a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, but the wind is on it from the NW at 9 mph, and the wave energy is a weak 59. The water is sitting at 68°, which is about average for the time of year. Don’t bother. Friday and the weekend get bigger, but it’s all wind-affected. By Saturday the 25th, we’ve got 5ft from the NW, but with a fresh 19 mph wind right on it, it’s just a lumpy mess. The energy picks up to 233, but it’s not surfable. Sunday the 26th sees 7ft from the NNW, but a strong 25 mph cross-onshore wind, and a short 8-second period, makes it a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle session. Monday the 27th is close to surfable, with 5ft from the NNW, but the wind is still cross-onshore, and the comment says “marginal surf forecast.” It’s not worth the paddle out.
The real story is a long wait. After that, the first week of August is still small and messy with cross-onshore winds, dropping to 2ft on the 2nd. The energy stays weak, between 44 and 174. It’s a tough stretch.
Then, finally, a glimmer. On Tuesday the 4th of August, a full week away, we get a moment of relief. The morning session at Adraga looks like the only highlight. The swell drops to 2ft from the W, but the period stretches to a solid 11 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the south at just 3 mph. The wave energy is a moderate 123. It’s clean, it’s glassy, and that’s a rare treat. The swell direction (W) matches the optimum (WNW) pretty well. It’s a small wave, but it’s going to be smooth and lined up. This is the one to aim for. The rest of that day and the following days go back to onshore or cross-onshore junk. So, if you’re desperate, circle the 4th of August. The rest of the 16 days is a poor show.
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.
