Table - best surf conditions forecast for Adraga over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into what's shaping up for the local stretch. It’s a bit of a lean period ahead, so don’t get too excited just yet.
We’re looking at a long, quiet run for Adraga. The whole first week, from now through to the end of the week, is pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, and what little energy there is gets torn apart by onshore winds. Honestly, it’s going to be flat and choppy—not even worth dragging the board down for. The water is sitting at 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Now, the first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Monday, July 20th. That morning, we finally see some proper swell, with a 6ft set from the NNW. The wind swings cross-offshore from the south at 9 mph, cleaning things right up. The combined swell energy jumps to a moderate 312 (which is a solid step up from the doldrums). This is your best chance for a wave, but it’s a one-off. The afternoon stays clean but the tide or something else bumps it down a notch, so get it early.
Tuesday, July 21st morning also looks tidy. The swell drops slightly to 5ft from the NNW, but with a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze, it’ll be glassy and clean. The combined energy is still a decent 343, so there’s push in the water. Again, the wind swings onshore in the arvo, so it’s a morning mission only.
After that, the window slams shut again. From Wednesday, July 22nd onward, it’s back to onshore wind and slop. The swell bumps up a bit by the end of the month, with some bigger 6ft to 7ft lumps on the 24th and 25th, but the wind is absolutely howling from the NNW at 16-19 mph, making a mess of it. For a beach and reef setup like this, that’s just a choppy, blown-out mess. At those sizes with that wind, it’s more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.
So, the bottom line: there's a long, quiet gap until Monday, July 20th. That morning, between the 20th and 21st, is the only real stand-out window. It’s not epic, but it’s the best we’ve got.
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.
