The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty dead for surf. We've got a long, empty stretch ahead with nothing really calling you out. The first real chance doesn't pop up until late in the second week, and even then it's a long shot. Let's run through it.
It starts quiet and stays quiet for a long haul. From late July through the first week of August, conditions at Adraga (Portugal) are consistently lousy. The wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, ruining whatever small swell tries to make it in. On the Wednesday morning of the 29th of July, there's a weak 3ft swell from the NW with almost no energy behind it, but a 9 mph north wind makes it a mess. The water temp is 68°, which is about normal for this time of year. It's just not good.
This pattern just keeps repeating. The 30th, 31st, through the 1st of August, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th – every session is written off. The wind never lets up, always out of the north or NNW, keeping the surface choppy and lumpy. Even when the swell bumps up to around 4ft on the Friday afternoon of the 31st of July, it's blowing 22 mph, making it a total no-go.
We finally see a little change on the 7th of August. The Friday morning brings a 4ft swell from the WNW, and there's a bit more energy in the water. But again, the wind is still a moderate cross-onshore. It's a tease.
Then around the 10th of August, we get a weird one. The Monday morning shows a tiny 1ft swell, but check the interval – 13 seconds. That's a proper long-period groundswell, but it's got no size to speak of. The wind is still a problem.
The most interesting, but still risky, window is Tuesday the 11th of August. Tuesday afternoon shows a 3ft groundswell from the NNW with a 10-second interval, and the overall energy is the strongest we've seen in weeks. But, and this is a big but, the wind is still a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore. This is a long-range forecast, so don't bank on it, but if the wind were to clean up, that afternoon might actually have a few.
For now, I wouldn't make plans. Keep an eye on that Tuesday the 11th of August if you're desperate, but don't get your hopes up. This is what a wind-swept forecast looks like.
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.
