The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I'm looking at the cards for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a grim stretch for Adraga. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for a proper paddle session. The forecast shows a relentless run of cross-onshore winds and choppy, messy conditions.
The first surf we see is on the 27th of July, a Monday morning. But don't get excited. The water is a pleasant 69°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, but the wind is a light cross-onshore from the north at 6 mph. It's already creating small wind ripples, and the swell is a weak 3 ft from the NNW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 179, and the verdict is clear: poor surf conditions. This sets the tone for the whole run.
From that point, it's a brutal stretch of nothing but poor surf. Every single session through to the end of the forecast period on the 11th of August is marked as "poor surf conditions." The wind never lets up, staying cross-onshore or onshore, mostly from the NNW or N. It's a constant battle with chop.
By the 9th of August, the swell actually gets some size. You'll see a 5 ft to 5 ft swell from the WNW with a long period of 11-12 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 615. But the wind is still a fresh to strong cross-onshore, and the water is a mess. That 5 ft swell with a long period would be a dream at a reef or point, but here at a beach and reef setup, it's just going to be lumpy, closed-out, and impossible to enjoy. It's a cruel tease.
Looking at the whole picture, the swell direction is often from the NNW, which is not the preferred WNW optimum for this spot. The wind is the real killer though. It's never light, never offshore. Honestly, with the consistent strong winds and the beach-and-reef setup getting choppy, this whole period looks far more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. There's just no window for a clean wave. Hang in there, and check back, because forecasts can change, but this run is a solid blank.

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.
