Adraga Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, ol’ Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this one’s a bit of a bummer for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with basically nothing worth paddling out for. Let’s break it down.

The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. From Wednesday the 15th of July right through to at least the 30th, every single session is marked as poor. That’s over two weeks of flatness or onshore junk. The first few days are tiny, with swell heights barely hitting 2 ft and a weak combined energy reading (43). Wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, onshore – never clean. It’s a frustrating start.

We do see a bit of a pulse building around the 19th of July, with swell nudging up to 3 ft on Sunday morning and the combined energy climbing to 104, but it’s all onshore wind from the NNW. By Sunday afternoon, the swell hits 4 ft with energy up to 203, but it’s still onshore and messy. That pattern sticks around for days. The wind never lets up.

The only real standout – and I say that loosely – is a tiny window around Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning shows a clean WNW swell of 1 ft, period 10 seconds, with light onshore wind. The energy is a paltry 65. It’s barely a ripple, but it’s the closest we get to glassy conditions. For a real surfer, it’s not worth it.

After that, it’s a slow build into the last week. By the 25th, we see the biggest swell of the period – 5 ft on Saturday morning, jumping to 6 ft in the afternoon, with energy hitting 436. But it’s all NNW wind, onshore and blowing 18-22 mph. The setup is choppy and lumpy. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The following days keep the swell up around 5 ft to 7 ft, but that same strong, cross-onshore wind just ruins it.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.

Look, I hate to say it, but there’s nothing here. No hidden gem. No sneaky session. Just day after day of poor surf. Sometimes the coast just shuts down, and this is one of those stretches. Keep your board in the garage and your eyes on the long-range.

Rusty.
