The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Wraps. Gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. The wind is our enemy for most of the coming days, and it’s making life difficult at this break.

Right now, the water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least the wait won't be uncomfortable.

For the rest of July and into early August, it’s a grim run. We’re looking at day after day of onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the ENE, blowing at 15 to 25 mph. That’s going to trash the surface. The swell is there, but it’s not the problem—the wind is. We’ve got solid 7 ft to 7 ft swell from the ENE and NE with short periods of 7 to 8 seconds, so the wave energy is moderate (around 432 to 672), but it’s all blown out. It’s going to be a washing machine. On the 26th and 27th, the swell turns more easterly and the period stretches to 13-14 seconds, which is a nice long groundswell, but it’s still hitting a strong onshore wind. The energy is building into the strong range (841 to 1464), but without the right wind, it’s just a big, messy, onshore wall.

Now, I see a small window on the 29th of July. Wednesday morning, the swell is pumping at 10 ft from the ENE, with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 2285. But that’s the problem—that’s way too big for this spot. The forecast even says it’s too big for Wraps. That afternoon, the wind swings to a light SSW cross-offshore at 9 mph, and the swell drops to 8 ft with a 9-second period. The energy is still strong (958), and the conditions are clean. That Wednesday afternoon is the standout. It’s the only time in the whole 16 days where the wind is cooperating and the swell is manageable. You’ll want to be on it.

After that, it’s back to the same story. The wind goes ENE again, and the surf is poor through the end of July and into August. We get a bit of a tease on the 5th of August with a 5 ft to 6 ft ENE swell and an 11-second period, but the wind is still onshore or cross-onshore. The real next chance doesn’t come until the 7th of August. Friday morning is still messy, but Friday afternoon looks promising. The wind goes light SSE cross-offshore at 6 mph, and we get a clean 5 ft NE swell with a 9-second period. The energy is only 405, but it’ll be clean. That’s your second-best option, but it’s a long way off.

So, to sum it up: the best on offer is the afternoon of Wednesday, 29th July. Clean, manageable size, and a rare offshore wind. The second pick is the afternoon of Friday, 7th August. Everything else is a write-off, with strong onshore winds ruining the fun. For a solid week in between, from the 30th of July to the 6th of August, there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on the wind.

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.
