The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for the next two weeks. We’re looking at a long, dry patch with almost nothing to get excited about.
The only break that’s even on the radar is Recco. It’s a reef setup, but it’s a frustrating one – it rarely breaks. The water is sitting at a warm 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a real anomaly.
Starting off on Monday 27 July, we’ve got a tiny 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft swell from the SSE, with a weak combined energy of just 9. The wind is cross-off or onshore, and honestly, the surf is listed as poor. Tuesday 28 through Thursday 30 July keeps the same story – flat, tiny bump at best, with periods of glassy conditions but no real wave to ride. From Friday 31 July right through to Sunday 9 August, there’s literally zero swell. The combined energy readings are all 0. That’s a good 10-day stretch of flat water.
We get a tiny flicker of life on Monday 10 August with a 1.0 ft SSE swell and a combined energy of 3, but it’s still poor. Then on Tuesday 11 August, we finally see the biggest wave of the whole forecast: a 2 ft SSE swell, period of 5 seconds, with a combined energy of 23. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore though, so it’ll be a bit choppy. Still, for this region, that’s the best on offer.
There is no standout session here. The best window is Tuesday 11 August morning, if you’re desperate. It’s small, it’s short-period, and it’s a little bumpy. The rest of the run is a write-off.
Keep the board waxed, but don’t hold your breath. This is one of those stretches where you just wait for the next southerly change to kick things back to life.
Rusty.

Information about the Recco Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Recco provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Recco can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Recco 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 (Recco) 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 Recco 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.
