The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer at Wraps over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for anything decent. We’re looking at a solid gap of over two weeks with no good surf. The wind is a big problem – it’s coming from the ENE, which is onshore or cross-onshore, pretty much the whole time. That’s blowing out what little shape the swell has.
The swell itself is coming from the same direction as the wind, ENE, which is a lousy combination. The energy is weak to moderate (on the 5th of August it’s only 320, dropping to 95 by the 7th). It’s short-period stuff, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, which means it’s just windswell – weak, bumpy, and lacking any punch. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
By the 15th of August, the swell actually starts building up, with the combined energy hitting 503 and then 545, but the wind is still a fresh 35 km/h cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy and messy. For a beginner-friendly spot like Wraps, that’s going to be ugly.
From the 17th of August onward, the swell gets bigger – 8 ft up to 10 ft by the 18th and 19th – and the energy jumps into the strong range (over 1000). But the wind is a strong breeze at 25 mph, making it a messy, crumbly mess. The waves are too big for beginners and the onshore wind will make it a washing machine. This setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s just not a single window of clean, lined-up surf here. The forecast can change, but for now, Wraps is best left alone.
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.
