Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good hard look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is one long, frustrating gap with no proper surf to get excited about. From the 4th of July right through to the 19th, it's gonna be a write-off.
The issue is relentless onshore wind from the ENE, blowing 18 to 25 mph day after day. That's going to kill any chance of clean waves. We've got some size coming through, with the swell hanging around 5 ft to 8 ft for most of the first week. But it's all wind-slop, with a short, weak period of just 7 to 8 seconds. The wave comment on every single forecast is "poor surf conditions."
Even by the 16th and 17th of July, when the swell drops back to 4 ft to 5 ft, that ENE wind is still swinging cross-on, making it choppy and lumpy. It's the same story across the board here – the setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at this point.
Look, this is a blank run for the area, and it looks stubborn. Forecaster confidence is good on this one because it's consistent – consistently bad. Keep the board waxed for a better day, because this stretch isn't going to give us anything. I'll be back when there's something to report.
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.
