G’day, Rusty here, with a look at what’s coming up at Racca Point over the next 16 days, starting from July 11. I’ll level with you right off the bat: this stretch is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead, and the only whisper of something surfable is a very brief window early on. After that, it’s basically a flat spell for the rest of the outlook.
The water is running at 80°, which is a good 5° warmer than you’d expect for this time of year – pretty unusual, so you’ll be in for a warm one if you bother getting wet.
The one and only chance to get a wave comes on Sunday, July 12. On the morning of the 12th, we’ve got a small 4 ft SE swell rolling in with a 6-second period. The energy is moderate (113), and with a light offshore from the north, it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but you can’t get too excited – the waves are small and the period is short, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Still, it’s the only real option. Racca Point is a reef, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t bank on a set running through every time you look up. Crowds are possible, but with conditions this average, you’ll probably have it to yourself.
After that Sunday morning, forget it. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to July 26, the swell drops off a cliff. We’re talking barely 1 ft to 2 ft if anything, with combined energy values in the single digits or low double digits – that’s weak. There are plenty of days with zero swell at all. Winds are a mixed bag of glassy mornings and onshore afternoons, but with no wave height to speak of, it doesn’t matter. It’s a long, flat stint.
So, if you’re keen, make the most of Sunday morning, July 12. That’s the only standout, and it’s a very small one. Otherwise, it’s a week and a half of flat water. The forecast could change, but right now, it’s a tough run for Racca Point.
Rusty.

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.
