The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Wraps over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a write-off. We’ve got a solid stretch from Sunday the 23rd of August all the way through to Saturday the 6th of September where the conditions are just not cooperating. The wind is hammering from the ENE and NE, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and it’s fresh. That’s creating chopped-up, lumpy, poor surf. The swell is hanging around 4ft to 8ft, with periods mostly short, between 6 and 8 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves. The energy is low to moderate (between 160 and 674). Honestly, it’s all pretty grim for paddle surfing. Given the persistent strong onshore wind and the beach set-up, this looks way more interesting for kite surfing than anything else. Don’t bother waxing up.
Now, there is a glimmer. The first sign of something better shows up on Sunday the 7th of September. It’s a long way out, so treat this as a promising but less certain call. The morning looks the pick with a light breeze from the NE, 6 mph, glassy onshore. The swell is 5ft from the ENE with a period of 10 seconds, giving it decent shape and energy (546). That’s a solid, fun-sized groundswell. The wind is light, so expect clean conditions. Afternoon sees the breeze pick up to 9 mph, still onshore, but the swell holds at 5ft. It’s a marginal call, but after two weeks of nothing, it’s the only standout.
Rusty.

Information about the Wraps Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Wraps provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Wraps can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Wraps 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 (Wraps) 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 Wraps 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.
