The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Racca Point over the next 16 days.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is looking pretty bleak for a solid stretch. We're looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of for the vast majority of the period. From now, right through the end of July and into the first of August, it's a whole lot of nothing. The swell window is just quiet, and most days the ocean is flat or showing tiny, unrideable bumps. There's a lot of clean, glassy mornings with light offshore winds, but without any swell, it's just a pretty lake. It's frustrating, but it happens.
Now, there is one tiny glimmer, and it's a long way off. On Friday the 24th of July, we finally see a pulse of energy. The afternoon shows a 6 ft swell from the northeast, with a period of 8 seconds. That's a short-period windswell, and it's pushing the combined energy to a moderate 385. It's a marginal call, and the wind is a cross-shore, which will leave a bit of chop on the surface. For a consistent reef break like Racca Point, this is something to keep an eye on, but it's not a standout. The water temp is a notable 81°F, which is a massive 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual.
Beyond that, the rest of the run is a bust. The 30th of July morning has a tiny 2 ft SE swell with glassy conditions, but it's just too small. The long-range stuff into August is looking just as quiet.
So, the honest truth? There's nothing to get excited about here. The best advice is to wait for the forecasts to change, because this blank run won't last forever. Keep your gear ready.
Rusty.
