The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Racca Point. I’ll level with you: it’s a slow period. This spot is inconsistent, and the forecast shows a whole lot of nothing for a good stretch.
It starts off dead flat. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are total washouts with zero energy (0). Saturday the 25th throws up a tiny 0.3ft NE windswell with a period of only 4 seconds, but the afternoon onshore wind ruins it. Sunday the 26th morning gives us the first real hope: a 4ft SE swell, period of 6 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE keeping it clean. The combined energy is still on the weak side at (77), but it’s the first rideable surf.
The standout window is Monday the 27th of July morning. We get a 3ft SE swell with the period stretching to 7 seconds, and the wind goes completely glassy from the WNW (0 mph). The energy is moderate at (91), but that flat, glassy water makes it the cleanest session of the whole run. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. That’s your best chance.
After that, it fades hard. Tuesday the 28th drops to 1ft, and by Wednesday the 29th it’s down to 1ft. From the 30th of July all the way through the first week of August, it’s a ghost town. You’re looking at over a week of flat conditions with energy readings of 0 or 1. Even the glassy mornings on the 1st and 3rd of August have no swell at all.
The water temp on the 23rd is a balmy 83°F, which is 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, so the water will feel like a bath, but sadly there’s no surf to enjoy it.
Bottom line: your only play is Sunday the 26th morning through Monday the 27th morning, with Monday being the pick for those glassy conditions. After that, you’re looking at a solid week or more of flatness. Hang in there.
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.
