Racca Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Fair dinkum, I’ve had a good look at the charts for Racca Point over the next 16 days, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run. The whole period is a write-off for decent waves. There’s nothing on offer that I’d even call a surf, just tiny bits of chop and slop that are never going to get you excited. You’re looking at a solid gap of zero action right through to the 21st of September.

The only thing worth a mention is that the water temp here is sitting at 84°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, like bath water.

There’s one tiny window where you could maybe mess around on a foamie, but I wouldn’t call it a recommendation. On the morning of Thursday the 10th of September, the swell bumps up to a measly 2ft from the SE with a period of 5 seconds – that’s short-period, weak, gutless stuff. The combined swell energy is a paltry 15. Still, the wind is offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, so the surface will be clean. But the wave quality is still “poor”. It’s not something I’d bother paddling out for unless you’re desperate.

Other than that, the rest of the forecast is just a whole lot of nothing. Tiny 0.3ft to 2ft slop, mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes, and zero energy. Even the morning of the 15th of September has some glassy conditions with 1.0ft from the SE, but it’s not going to break properly. The swell period is only 7 seconds, so it’s not holding any power. That morning also has a risk of thunderstorms, so you’d be better off staying home.

Forget kiting or anything else – the wind is often too light or blowing straight onshore, and the wave size is pathetic. Honestly, this is one of those blank runs where the area just goes to sleep. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no surf to chase.

Rusty.
