Adraga Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Adraga. This is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the west-northwest, so it needs the right window. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

We've got a rough start. From Thursday the 10th right through to Saturday the 12th, it's all cross-onshore winds and choppy, messy surf. Swell is coming from the NNW, mostly around 3ft to 5ft, but the wind just ruins it. Best to give it a miss and wait.

Sunday the 13th morning is where things start to turn. We get a clean 3ft NW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds, and a light offshore SSE breeze. The combined swell energy is moderate at 361, and conditions are clean. It's small, but it'll be fun on a longboard or a fish.

Monday the 14th morning is the standout of the first week. Glassy conditions, 4ft of NW swell with an 11-second period, and moderate wave energy (366). That's a lovely morning session with no wind to mess it up. The afternoon gets messy again with onshore wind.

Then it goes pretty average for a stretch. From Tuesday the 15th through to Saturday the 19th morning, we've got a lot of cross-onshore wind, choppy conditions, and only a few small windows. Friday the 18th is particularly ugly with strong breezes. The swell builds but the wind stays bad.

Saturday the 19th morning is another little gem. Glassy again, 3ft of NW swell with a 10-second period, and moderate energy (270). Clean, small, and fun. That's a good one if you're free.

Now for the second week. Sunday the 21st of September, we get a huge spike. 7ft to 10ft of NW swell with a very long 13-14 second period, and massive energy readings of 3017 and 2723. Problem is, it's too big for Adraga—the forecast says it's too big for this break. That's expert territory only, and even then, it's going to be a beast. The wind is light, but the swell size makes it dangerous for most.

Monday the 22nd and Tuesday the 23rd keep the swell around 7ft to 7ft from the NNW, but the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, so the quality drops off. Still big, but messy.

Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th bring a different story. A long-period NW groundswell (15 to 18 seconds) with moderate energy (1144 to 1460). Swell heights are 3ft to 6ft. The wind is cross-onshore though, so it's marginal. The long period will make it wall up nicely, but the wind will put some texture on it. Not a total write-off, but not clean.

Best on offer: Without a doubt, Monday the 14th morning with glassy conditions and clean 4ft NW swell. Saturday the 19th morning is a close second for a glassy, smaller session.
