The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this stretch for Adraga is a real test of patience. We’re looking at a long, long run of messy, onshore, and cross-onshore winds that just won’t let up. For the first 11 days, from Friday the 24th of July straight through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s a write-off. The wind is honking out of the N, NNW, and NW, and that combined with the swell direction means nothing but poor surf conditions. The wind states are "on" or "cross-on" with moderate to fresh breezes, and the wave comments are consistently "poor surf conditions" with scores of zero. It’s a brutal stretch.
Now, we finally get a glimmer of hope. The standout window is the morning of Tuesday, the 4th of August. The finder shows a morning with "some clouds" and a glassy wind from the SW. That is the key. The wind is light, and the condition is described as "glassy" – that’s pure magic for a beach-and-reef like Adraga. The swell will be a clean 5 ft from the NNW, but with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s a bit of a windswell. The combined energy is moderate at 214. It’s not going to be a world-class day, but for the first time in over a week, the lineup will be smooth and rideable. Given the crowds are "sometimes" a factor, you can expect a few heads out, but it’ll be worth it for the clean conditions.
The light winds on Tuesday morning are the only real break in the pattern. After that, the wind picks back up on Tuesday afternoon, and we’re back into the poor conditions for the rest of the forecast. The water temp is 70°F with a 2°F anomaly, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice treat if you’re out there.
So, to sum it up: the first 11 days are a total dud. The only real call is the glassy morning on Tuesday the 4th of August. It’s a short window, but it’s your shot.

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.
