The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Look, I'll be straight with you – we've got a tough stretch ahead. We're looking at a major flat spell. The window for any surf at Racca Point doesn't even open until Thursday the 20th of August, and even then, it's pretty sorry. The waiting game is real here.
Starting that Thursday morning, we see a tiny 1.0ft SSW swell with a period of 2 seconds, and onshore wind. That's nothing you'd even paddle for. The afternoon picks up a little 1.0ft bump with sloppy wind. The combined energy is weak, just a measly 1 (the reading is "1"). Not good. Friday the 21st shows a bit more promise with a glassy afternoon, a 1ft SE swell at 3 seconds, and the combined swell energy rises to a still-weak 2. It's clean, but knee-high at best. Saturday the 22nd is the first time we see any real combined energy, hitting 19 on the meter. That's still weak, but it's a start. A 2ft ESE swell with a period of 5 seconds under a cross-offshore morning wind means it might be rideable for a longboard, but the afternoon gets choppy.
Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are more of the same – tiny waves and generally poor conditions. There is a brief window of glass on Monday morning with a 0.7ft SSE swell, but the combined energy is a tiny 3. Not worth the drive.
The standout, if you can call it that, has to be Saturday the 22nd of August. The morning brings a clean 1.0ft SE swell with light ENE winds and a combined energy of 3 – but the afternoon is where the best numbers lie. That 2ft ESE swell with a 5 second period and combined energy of 19 is the biggest combo of the first week. It's still small, but it's the most we've got. The water is about 85°F, which is much warmer than normal for August – that's an anomaly of 7°F. It's weirdly tropical, but the surf is not.
The second week, from the 25th onward, is just more of the same punishment. Tiny swells, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and combined energy rarely getting above 10 or 11. Tuesday the 1st of September has a morning clean 0.3ft SW swell with a combined energy of 2. It’s a dud. Racca Point is an inconsistent reef, and this forecast proves why. For beginners, there's nothing here at all, but that doesn't matter because there's nothing for anyone.
If you're a kitesurfer, the afternoon of the 31st of August might be interesting with a 2ft SW swell and 16 mph WSW cross-onshore wind. For paddle surfing, we're waiting on a better forecast.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
