The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check the surf for our local spot, Racca Point.
To be straight with you, the outlook over the next sixteen days is a total bummer. We're facing a long, dry spell with nothing but small, weak waves on offer. The wave energy is mostly a whisper, dropping to 1 (weak) or straight up zero for a good chunk of the run. The swell is barely a bump, coming in at 0.3ft to 1ft from the SE with a short period, and that's the best we can say. This isn't the usual quick flat spell; it's a solid stretch where the board's better off in the car.
Starting with Sunday the 13th, it's dead flat. Glassy conditions in the morning with a north breeze don't mean a thing when the swell is a measly 0.3ft and the energy is just 1. That flatness sticks right through that week. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th tease with a 1ft wave, but the energy only crawls up to 6 on Wednesday morning. Still pathetic.
There's a tiny flicker on Friday the 18th morning – a small 0.7ft groundswell from the ESE with an 11-second period and the energy bumping up to 18. That's the best we see, but it's still a weak, small wave. A cross-offshore wind from the NNW will keep the surface clean, but it won't have any push to speak of.
After that, it's back to a full-on flat spell from Sunday the 20th through the middle of the next week. Nothing at all on the charts. The water temp is sitting at 83°, a massive 7° warmer than usual, which is very unusual.
We finally get a different look on Sunday the 27th afternoon with a 1ft swell from the NE and a combined energy of 11. It's the biggest swell height we see, but with a cross-shore wind, the surface will be bumpy. Still underwhelming.
The honest truth is there isn't a single standout session in this entire 16-day window. The swell is too small, the energy is too weak, and the quality is consistently "poor". This kind of extended blank run is more normal for the area when the trades don't cooperate. Don't get your hopes up; forecasts can change, but for now, just forget about it.

Information about the Racca Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Racca Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Racca Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Racca Point 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 (Racca Point) 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 Racca Point 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.
