Right, well, I’m not gonna lie to you, the outlook for the next two and a half weeks is a bit of a tough one for us here at Adraga. The finder’s pretty much a blank page for any decent surf. It’s a beach and reef setup, exposed to the open ocean, but the wind’s just not cooperating. We’ve got a solid run of poor conditions lining up, with the only real chance of a wave being a couple of brief windows early on.

The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing strange there.

Let’s start with Sunday the 12th of July. The morning’s the only time worth even looking at. We’ve got a small 2 ft swell out of the west, with a period of 9 seconds and a light south breeze, cross-offshore. It’s clean, with combined wave energy of 140 (moderate) – you’ll find some surfable waves, but they’re very ordinary. The afternoon’s a write-off with stronger west-southwest winds and a cross-chop.

Monday the 13th of July is a similar story. The morning sees a tiny 2 ft swell from the northwest, 8-second period, with a light south-southwest cross-off. It’s clean, but the energy’s down to 78 (weak). It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for anything with shape. The afternoon’s a mess.

Then from Tuesday the 14th of July right through to the end of the forecast window on the 27th, it’s a consistent run of poor surf. The wind’s mostly cross-onshore, onshore, or just plain messy, coming from the north and northwest. The swell bumps up a bit, hitting 5 ft to 5 ft around the 18th to the 20th, but it’s all wind-affected, lumpy, and choppy. That kind of size with that wind is just ugly. The combined energy does get into the 200s (strong) on the 18th, 19th, and 20th, but it’s wasted on the conditions. The period stays short, mostly 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s just a messy, blown-out windswell.

For the first week, the only real glimmer is Sunday morning, the 12th, and maybe Monday morning, the 13th, for a paddle in the clean but tiny stuff. If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 3 ft in the clean windows, so it’s safe, but there’s nothing to ride. When the swell does get over 5 ft around the 18th, it’s too big for beginners anyway, but it’s also only for experts given the state of the wind.

Honestly, with this persistent cross-onshore and onshore wind and the swell being a short-period, wind-driven mess, this setup at Adraga looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for the majority of the period. The second week is a write-off.

Chin up, though – it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change.

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.
