Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wraps over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty.
Alright, let’s be straight with Wraps. This 16-day outlook is a tough one. From Sunday, July 12th, right through to the end of the month, the wind is a nightmare. It’s a constant ENE breeze, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, blowing at a fresh 20 to 35 km/h. That is going to leave the surf choppy, lumpy, and blown out.
The swell is hanging around, but it’s short-period, wind-slop. The energy readings are mostly in the moderate range, like 471 and 237, so there’s some push, but no shape. Water temp is around 79°, which is pretty normal for the time of year.
The real problem is that the wind and swell are coming from the same direction, straight onshore. There’s a spike in energy on Monday, July 27th, with the swell hitting 2.1m from the NE and the energy reading climbing to 1123 (strong). But the wind is still a moderate onshore breeze. That Monday afternoon is the only time the forecast calls it “marginal” instead of “poor,” but a 2.1m onshore mess is for the hardcore, not for a good time.
The only other thing to mention is Sunday, July 26th. There’s a 0.9m swell from the E with a very long period of 14 seconds, and the energy is moderate (585). But the wind is still a fresh onshore breeze. That long period groundswell on a beach break will just close out.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a dud. No standout sessions. This is more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle surfing one for the next couple of weeks.
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.
