The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what we’ve got for Wraps.
Mate, to be honest, this is a pretty bleak run. We’ve got a 16-day window starting now, but there’s a massive gap right at the beginning. From Saturday the 25th all the way through to Tuesday the 28th, the onshore winds are relentless and strong – 19 mph to 25 mph from the ENE – and the wave comment is just “poor surf conditions” across the board. The swell is there, 7 ft to 7 ft, but it’s short-period 8 seconds stuff being smashed by the breeze. The combined energy is moderate to strong (551 to 1674), but it’s all windslop and chop. Not worth paddling out.
Then we hit a real standout, a tiny window on Wednesday morning the 29th. The wind drops right off, glassy from the SE at just 3 mph. That is a major positive. The swell holds at a solid 8 ft, but it’s coming from ENE with a period of 10 seconds – a decent groundswell push. The combined energy is strong (1630) and the conditions flip to “excellent surf for experienced surfers.” That is the one to aim for. For anyone comfortable in solid waves, Wednesday morning is the session. Glassy 8 ft ENE swell. Short window though – by the afternoon it turns cross and drops to marginal.
After that, it goes back into the bin. From Thursday the 30th right through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s all cross-onshore or onshore wind, mostly from the ENE, with occasional lumps of 3 ft to 8 ft short-period junk. The energy levels drop from moderate to weak by the final days (146 to 300), and the wave comments stay poor right through. There are no more standouts. Water temp sits around 80°F, which is about average for the time of year. No anomaly to speak of.
So honestly, you get one shot: Wednesday morning the 29th at Wraps. That’s it. The rest of the 16 days are a write-off. The break is fairly consistent at handling swell, but this pattern is just a classic long run of ENE trade winds ruining it. If you’re not on that Wednesday morning glass-off, you’re waiting a long time.

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.
