The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm lookin' at the next 16 days for Adraga. Straight up, it's a tough stretch. The swell shows up, but the wind's got other ideas, and for the most part, it's all looking pretty blown out and messy. We're not talking about a classic run here.
The first real hope for a wave comes from Saturday, the 25th of July. We start seeing some swell pick up, around 5 ft coming from the NW, but the wind is already on it. That sets the tone for the whole forecast, really. The water temp is sitting right around 69°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The size builds into Sunday the 26th, with waves hitting 7 ft from the NNW, and the energy's getting real, around (578), but the wind's cross-onshore and strong. It's just not clean. This pattern of decent swell and onshore or cross-onshore wind pretty much locks in until the very end of the period. There's a real gap of clean conditions here – days and days of it being mediocre at best.
Now, if you're an experienced surfer and don't mind a battle, the biggest stuff rolls in Thursday morning, the 6th of August. We're looking at 7 ft from the NNW, with a combined energy of (650). That's a lot of water moving around. But the wind is a fresh 35 km/h cross-onshore, making it lumpy and tough. This is strictly for the experts, and even then, it's more of a survival session than a classic one. The period's short too, around 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit walled-off and bumpy at this beach and reef setup.
Honestly, there’s no standout day in this window for a clean, fun surf. The one session that almost teases you is Monday morning, the 3rd of August. There's a 5 ft NW swell with energy at (211). The wind is a light cross-onshore, but it's still the closest we get to something rideable. It's only rated as 'marginal,' so you'd be really working for it.
For a spot like Adraga, this kind of blank run is more normal than you'd hope for. The wind just isn't playing the game. This setup, with the strong cross-onshore winds and solid swell, honestly looks more interesting for the kite-surfing crew than paddle surfers. Keep an eye on the forecast, because things can flip, but right now? I'd be grabbing a beer and watching from the cliff.
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.
