The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's looking pretty bleak. We've got a long stretch of flat, poor conditions ahead. From now through the afternoon of the 11th, there's nothing worth paddling out for. The swell just isn't there, and even when a tiny bump pops up, it's not enough to get excited about.
The first real chance of a wave comes on the morning of Friday the 11th. Racca Point might see a tiny 1 ft swell from the NE, with a bit of a wait between sets. The wind is a light offshore from the NW, so the surface will be clean. The water is holding at a very warm 84°, which is a whopping 7° above the norm for this time of year – that's incredibly unusual and it's like bathwater out there. The combined energy is a measly 7, so it's weak. It's not going to be a classic, but it's the first sign of life.
The following morning, Saturday the 12th, is a little better. That same NE swell builds to 2 ft and the period stretches to 9 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The cross-offshore wind keeps things tidy. The energy is still low, sitting at 40. This is a small, clean day for a longboard or a foamie, but don't expect any power.
The afternoon of the 12th gets a bit more energy, up to 54, but the wind swings cross-onshore from the WSW, chopping it up. Pass.
Sunday the 13th the small swell drops back to 1 ft with a 7-second period. The clean morning conditions are a tease, but the swell is just too weak. The afternoons are all blown out. From the 14th onwards, it's back to flat, tiny waves and poor conditions. The combined energy numbers are all single digits – it's a dead zone.
So, the standout? Honestly, there isn't a proper standout. The best of a very average bunch is the Saturday morning of the 12th. It's a small, clean, glassy window for the mellow crew. For a bit of a punch, go for the Friday morning of the 11th, but keep your expectations low. The rest is a write-off.
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.

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.
