The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We've got a solid run of poor conditions, mostly thanks to that persistent ENE wind that just won't let up. We're looking at a gap of about two weeks with no real recommendations, just a lot of choppy, lumpy, and onshore junk.
The first real glimmer of hope, and I mean a tiny glimmer, shows up on Tuesday, July 28th. The numbers at Wraps finally start to look a bit more interesting. We're seeing a 7ft swell from the east with a long period of 14 seconds, which is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a hefty 1730 (strong), which tells you there's some power behind it. The wind is forecast to be light and onshore from the NE at 9 mph, so it won't be glassy, but a gentle breeze is miles better than the fresh gale we've been dealing with. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
The next day, Wednesday, July 29th, is similar – 7ft from the ENE, period 12 seconds, and still a moderate onshore breeze. The energy is still strong at 1293, but it's listed as a marginal day. The swell direction is NE, which is what the spot likes to see, so the shape might be there under the chop.
If you're desperate for a paddle, those two mornings, Tuesday, July 28th, and Wednesday, July 29th, are your best bet. It's not going to be perfect, not by a long shot, but it's the only thing on the board that's even close to being surfable. For anyone else, give it a miss. The rest of the period is a write-off. This is a quiet spell for the area, and it's best to just wait for the next proper system to roll through.
Alright, that's all I've got. It's a waiting game now.
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.
