Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wraps over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s unpack this for Wraps. It’s a rough 16 days, no two ways about it. The wind is stuck onshore from the ENE, and the swell is coming from the same direction. That’s a bad combo for a break that likes it from the NE. The water temp is about 79°, which is normal for the season.
The first week is a total washout. From Friday the 10th through the weekend and into the next week, every session is a write-off. The swell is between 5 and 7 feet, but it’s got a short period of 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s all windslop. The wind is a fresh breeze, sometimes a strong breeze, and it’s either onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy is moderate (348 to 531), but the quality is terrible – lumpy, messy, and not worth a paddle.
The second week doesn’t get much better. On the 22nd of July, the swell drops to 2 feet, but the period jumps to 14 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell, but it’s tiny and the wind is still cross-onshore. It’s a no-go. The energy is moderate (357 and 271). From the 23rd to the 25th, it’s back to small, short-period windswell with onshore winds. The energy drops into the low 100s and 200s, so it’s weak.
There’s nothing to get excited about. The best you’d see is a morning on the 20th or 21st of July when the wind is onshore but only a moderate breeze, with a 7-foot swell at 7 seconds. It’s still poor. For a beginner, some of those swells are over 5 feet, so it’s too big. For experts, it’s never over 8 feet, but the quality is so bad, no one’s happy.
This is a 16-day blank. The forecast is just a long, flat, windy run. Not a single standout. If you’re hanging for a wave, you’re out of luck here.

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.
