The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The data we’ve got for the next 16 days is pretty much a flat spell for Racca Point.
We’re looking at a long, dry run. From Wednesday, July 29th right through to Thursday, August 13th, there’s very little to get excited about. The first few days offer tiny, weak swell. On Wednesday the 29th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft ESE swell with a short period of 6 seconds, and a cross-on breeze from the SSE. The combined wave energy is a measly 14 – super weak. For the next ten days or so, it’s mostly glassy mornings with no swell, or tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves that just aren’t rideable. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a novelty, but not much help with no waves.
The real kicker is that Racca Point is an inconsistent reef break, and this forecast confirms it. There are no standouts here. The best you could hope for would be a glassy morning, like Thursday July 30th or Friday July 31st, with the tiniest of ripples from the SE. But honestly, with such low energy, it’s more of a paddle than a surf. The wind does look good on those mornings – glassy or light offshore from the NNW – but there’s simply no swell to work with. After the first week, it’s just zeros across the board. A blank run like this is more normal for this spot, so don’t be too disheartened; forecasts can always change.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the horizon.
Rusty.

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.
