The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve only got one spot on the radar, Racca Point, and it’s a reef break that’s inconsistent at the best of times. Unfortunately, this is one of those times where it’s just not firing.
The water is sitting at a steamy 83°F with a massive anomaly of 5°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be sweating in your wetsuit if you’re wearing one.
Right from the get-go, Monday the 10th through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s a flat run. There’s no swell energy to speak of. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a zero (0) for most of the first week, and even when a tiny pulse shows up, the numbers are pathetic – 2, 1, 3, 5. The biggest combined energy we see is a measly 18 (on Sunday the 23rd afternoon), which is still weak. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” across every single time slot.
The swell that does try to creep in is tiny. From Saturday the 15th morning, we get a 0.3ft swell from the NE with a period of 4 seconds – that’s short period, weak, and messy. The best we can hope for is a 2ft swell from the SE on the 22nd, but with a period of 5 seconds, it’s not going to wrap in with any real shape. The direction is nowhere near the optimum SE that Racca Point would love.
The winds, though, are a little tease. We get a lot of glassy mornings – Monday 10th, Tuesday 11th, Wednesday 12th, Thursday 13th, Friday 14th, and Saturday 16th all have clean, glassy conditions. But it doesn’t matter when there’s no wave to ride. The afternoons see a seabreeze kick in from the SSE or S, around 9–12 mph, which is onshore and choppy, so you’d be battling that if anything was there.
This is a long, dry gap. From the 10th of August right through to the 25th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The few tiny pulses that appear are too small to even wrinkle the surface. Racca Point is an inconsistent spot, and this blank run is totally normal for the area when the swell windows are shut.
The only thing that might raise an eyebrow is that the forecast can change, and it’s often not this poor for long. But as it stands, if you’re looking for a surf, you’re better off finding something else to do for the next two and a half weeks.
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.
