The Lowdown
Right now, Racca Point is flat and quiet – nothing happening at all. We’ve got a dry spell stretching out through the 17th and 18th. Not looking like a great run for the surf crew.
Water temp is a warm 83°F, which runs about 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s really unusual, proper bathwater.
Come the 18th, Friday morning might be your best early shout. There’s a tiny pulse of 0.3m SE swell, period only 4 seconds, but it’s clean with a light offshore NW wind. Combined energy is a weak 1. Not much to work with, and that short period means no push. It’s a beginner-only ankle slapper, honestly.
Things stay tiny and pretty useless through the 19th, 20th, and 21st. Some glassy mornings, clean conditions, but the swell is basically nothing – 0.1m to 0.2m at best, almost no energy (1–2). Not worth the effort unless you just want to float around.
A little bump appears on the 23rd – Wednesday morning – with 0.4m of ENE swell, period 6 seconds, and some clean cross-off wind. Energy is 12, still weak, but at least it’s a pulse. Still, the period is short, so expect it to be weak and dribbly.
The 27th Sunday morning stands out as the cleanest of the whole run. There’s 0.4m of SE swell with glassy conditions, energy around 5. Not big, but clean and fun for a longboard if you’re keen. The swell is from SE, right on the optimum for Racca Point, and no wind means smooth surfaces.
The 28th Monday morning brings a touch more size – 0.9m SE swell, period 6 seconds, energy jumping to 44. That’s the biggest and most energetic of the entire forecast, but the wind is light cross-shore, so it might be a little lumpy. Still, 0.9m is chest-high on a good day, and being a reef, it might offer a few proper little waves. That’s probably your best window of the whole period.
After that, it fades away. The 29th and 30th have tiny leftovers, and then the 30th afternoon brings a strong 40 km/h WNW cross-off wind. The surf is still flat (0.1m), but the wind is howling – that’s more a kite day if anything.
So in short: mostly flat, a few knee-high blips, but the 28th morning is the one to circle if you’re desperate. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and don’t hold your breath.

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.
