The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m staring at the charts and I’m a bit gutted for you. For the entire 16-day window, there’s just nothing on the menu at Racca Point. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple. From Monday the 20th of July all the way through to Tuesday the 4th of August, every single session comes back as “poor surf conditions.” That’s a long, dry stretch.
The water is a balmy 83° – that’s 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual, but you won’t need a wetsuit if you’re just floating around.
There’s a flicker of something on the 24th of July afternoon with a tiny 1 ft swell from the NE, but it’s a short period of 6 seconds and the combined energy is a weak 15 – not enough to get a ripple out of a bath. The wind is onshore, so it’s a write-off.
For the rest of the time, we’ve got periods of glassy or offshore winds (like on the 22nd of July morning with a glassy N at 3 mph, or the 25th of July morning with a glassy calm), but there’s simply no swell to go with it. It’s a clean, flat ocean. The swell energy values are all single-digit zeros or ones – pure dead water.
This isn’t a surprise for a spot that’s listed as “inconsistent” – it’s a reef break that only works when the planets align. Unfortunately, they’re not aligned for this whole outlook. If you’re a kite surfer, you might find some interest in the afternoon breezes, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard pass. Hang tight, the forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a bust.
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.
