The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Wraps over the next 16 days. I gotta be straight with you—this is a rough stretch. The wind is a relentless enemy, and the surf quality is just plain poor for the entire forecast period. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds from the ENE, cranking at 12 to 25 mph, which is just gonna chop everything up. The swell is there, but it’s all short-period windswell, and the conditions are never good enough to make it worth paddling out. There’s no standout session in the whole run. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days from Sunday the 19th through to the end of the week are a write-off. The wind is fresh and strong, blowing straight on or cross-on, and the wave height is between 4 ft and 8 ft, but it’s all lumpy, choppy, and messy. The combined wave energy is moderate, ranging from 195 to 590 (moderate energy), but it doesn’t matter because the wind is ruining it.
Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th do see a shift in swell direction to the east, with a longer period of 15 to 17 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps up to 942 and 1204 (strong energy), but the wind is still onshore from the ENE and NE, 15 to 18 mph. The wave height is 3 ft to 5 ft. The longer period is good for shape, but with that wind, it’s still going to be a messy, blown-out affair. This is a classic case of a groundswell that would be magic with an offshore wind, but we don’t get it.
The rest of the run into the first week of August is more of the same: onshore winds, poor surf conditions, and combined energy that’s all over the place. The setup at Wraps is a beach-and-reef deal, and with this constant onshore wind and significant swell, honestly, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. You’d be fighting a losing battle out there.
So, bottom line: there are no good surf options in the 16-day window. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the trade winds lock in. It wont stay poor forever, but for now, leave the boards in the car.
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.
