Table - best surf conditions forecast for Wraps over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Wraps over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Wraps is a grim one. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions, with nothing worth paddling out for. The first and only recommendation is for Saturday the 11th of July, but it’s a dud, so that’s where we start and end.
The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a spring suit. But that’s where the good news ends. From Saturday the 11th of July right through to Sunday the 26th of July, every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid 16-day gap of no-go.
The swell on offer is mainly from the ENE, coming in at around 4ft to 7ft, but the period is short – mostly 6 to 8 seconds – so it’s windswell, not groundswell, with no real punch. The energy is moderate at best, with readings like 389 (moderate) on the 11th, but it’s coupled with onshore and cross-onshore winds that are fresh to moderate, making it choppy and lumpy. Even when the wind drops to a gentle breeze on the 15th, it’s still cross-onshore and choppy. The direction is ENE, which is the opposite of the optimum swell direction from the NE for Wraps, so the break isn’t set up to handle this well.
Honestly, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that consistent onshore wind and sloppy swell. For a beginner-friendly break like Wraps, the 6ft+ days are going to be too much for learners anyway, and with the wind ruining any chance of a clean face, it’s just not worth it.
Stay tuned, it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
