The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Wraps. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days look pretty grim. We’ve got a whole lot of poor surf conditions lined up, so get ready for a long wait.
The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing strange there.
We’re starting off with a real dud. Saturday the 1st of August and Sunday the 2nd are a write-off. We’ve got a solid 8ft of swell, but it's coming from the E and ENE with a short, weak 8-second period. The wind is howling onshore at 25 mph, so it's just a messy, blown-out mess. The combined swell energy is strong, reading 1100 on Saturday morning, but with that wind, it’s just not worth paddling out for. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but trust me, this isn’t the day to learn. Maybe the kite crew will have some fun.
That same pattern carries right through the first week. Monday the 3rd to Thursday the 6th, we see the swell drop down to 6ft, then down to 2ft, with the wind staying onshore or cross-onshore. There’s just no window of clean surf. The energy drops from moderate to weak.
Friday the 7th sees a tiny bit of short-period mush at 4ft, but the wind is still a fresh cross-onshore. It’s lumpy and not worth your time. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th have a bit more size – back up to 6ft – but it’s the same story: onshore wind. The swell period is a weak 7 seconds.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. Monday the 10th through to the end of the forecast on Sunday the 16th of August is a real grind. We see the swell bouncing between 4ft and 8ft, but the wind stubbornly stays cross-onshore. The swell period is short, mostly 7 seconds, and the energy values, while moderate to strong at times, are completely wasted by the wind. It’s going to be a long, lumpy, messy stretch.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout day here. The best you could hope for is a 4ft day with a 10-second period on Wednesday the 5th, but the wind is still cross-onshore, creating a choppy surface. It’s not a recommendation, just a slightly less bad option. This is a rare stretch where even a fairly consistent beginner break like Wraps has nothing to offer a surfer. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, you’re better off keeping the board in the car for a couple of weeks.

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.
