The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s happening at Racca Point over the next couple of weeks. Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you—this is shaping up as a long, dry spell for surfable waves. For the first week and a half, the energy’s just not there, and when we do see a little pulse, the quality is poor. We’ve got a real gap here from Tuesday the 25th of August right through to Saturday the 30th of August, with nothing worth paddling out for. Even then, what pops up is barely a ripple.
The only moment that might get your heart beating is late on Saturday the 29th of August. We see a bit of a pulse from the north-east, swell around 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 128 (moderate), but that’s about the only thing going for it. The wind is straight onshore from the south at 6 mph, so it’s going to be sloppy. This is an inconsistent spot, a reef setup that takes a south-east optimum direction, and this swell is coming from the north-east, so it’s not even lighting it up properly. For a beginner, that 4 ft is fine, but with the onshore wind, it’s not the clean, fun wave you’d want. The water’s sitting at 83°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a fair 5°F above average, so you’ll be sweating in your wettie if you bother.
After that, from Sunday the 30th of August onward, it’s pretty much a write-off. We get glassy mornings with no swell, and then winds start honking from the north-west, hitting 22 mph by Tuesday the 1st of September and again on Wednesday the 9th of September. That’s a fresh breeze territory, clean offshore but with zero waves to ride. The sea might look inviting on those glassy dawns, but there’s nothing underneath. Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s no standout session. It’s a blank run that feels more normal for this area given how inconsistent Racca Point is. If you’re desperate, that Saturday afternoon is your only shot, but temper your expectations. The forecast can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now, I’d save the petrol.
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.
