The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty grim stretch ahead. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf at Adraga. There’s not a single good option, so don’t bother trying to talk yourself into it.
We start off with only a tiny, weak swell on Sunday the 2nd of August, around 2ft from the west, but a stiff 12 mph cross-on wind from the NNW is just ruining it. The energy is weak (114), and the conditions are poor. That’s our opener.
Through the first week, we get a few tiny pulses of swell, but the wind is constantly a problem. Monday the 3rd has a clean morning but the swell is a measly 2ft with only 73 units of energy. Tuesday the 4th sees a slightly bigger 3ft from the WNW, but the wind is light and cross-on, so it’s just messy. By Thursday the 6th, the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph, and the swell is a lumpy, choppy 4ft. It’s rough.
The second week is even worse. A bigger pulse of swell hits on Monday the 10th of August, with 6ft from the NNW, but it’s accompanied by a fresh 22 mph cross-on wind. The energy is strong (447), but it’s completely unsurfable. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The conditions stay poor and choppy right through to the end of the forecast on Monday the 17th, with a tiny 2ft closing the book.
It’s just no good, lads. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the wind doesn’t play ball. We’ll have to wait for the next forecast and hope for a change.
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.
