The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Mother Nature's got cookin' for us.
To be straight with you, folks, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re lookin' at a real dry spell. The next swell that shows up at Wraps is on Thursday the 30th of July, but it’s a write-off right from the start. We’ve got a cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph messin' up a 5 ft swell from the ENE with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The water’s sitting at 80°, pretty much bang on average for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that's normal. The combined swell energy is weak (279), and it's just choppy, poor surf. That afternoon doesn't get any better, and Friday the 31st actually gets worse with the wind cranking up to 25 mph and the swell jumping to 7 ft but still with that awful short period. Saturday the 1st of August sees the swell peak at 8 ft, but with a strong onshore breeze making a complete mess of it. The combined energy gets up there (1107), but it's all wind and no form. This is genuinely more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through the first weekend.
After that, the swell slowly backs off, but the wind stays stubbornly on it or cross-on. We get a little taste of some longer period energy on Tuesday the 4th of August with an 11 to 12 second period, but the wind is still on it, killin' any chance of a decent wave. By the time we get to Tuesday the 11th of August, the wind finally swings around and goes cross-shore, which is the best wind direction we've seen, but the swell is tiny and weak.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. Every single forecast window is marked as poor surf conditions. The breaks are fairly consistent in this region, so this blank run is a bit of a downer, but it happens. We just have to wait for the wind pattern to shift before Wraps can show what it's got.
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.
