The Lowdown
Alright, mate, let’s break it down. It’s a pretty bleak start to the forecast.
We’ve got a long, dry spell with no decent surf. From Wednesday 15th July all the way through to the morning of Wednesday 29th July, it’s flat and messy. The water is running a bit cooler than usual for this time of year at 66°F, about 2°F below normal. The waves are tiny, the wind is cross-onshore, and it’s just choppy slop. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.
The first real sniff of action comes on the morning of Thursday 30th July. Adraga (beach and reef) finally gets a pulse. The swell is from the NNW at around 7ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind switches to a light offshore from the SE, which is a game-changer – it’ll be clean and glassy. The energy is strong. But here’s the thing: that 7ft swell is starting to get big for this spot, and the forecast warns it might be too much for the break. This is one for the experienced crew only. The window is short, and it’s a long way off, so keep your hopes in check.
After that, it’s back to small, choppy, cross-onshore conditions for the rest of the period. The only real standout is that single morning on the 30th, and even then, it’s a big-wave session for the experts. If you’re into kiting, the stronger winds later in the second week might be worth a look, but for a surfer, it’s a tough run.

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.
