The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Recco are a tough watch. This is one of those periods where the ocean just doesn’t want to play ball. We’re looking at a long, dry run with barely a ripple worth mentioning.
The first bit of any real hope? You’ll have to wait a long time. There’s basically nothing on offer for the entire first week and a half. The few tiny pulses that show up are so small and weak they’re not worth paddling out for. The combined wave energy is almost non-existent, sitting at just 1 at times. It’s just flat.
We do get a little flicker of life on 10 September, Thursday morning. The water is a balmy 82°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a warm bath. The morning shows a clean 2 ft swell from the south, with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of just 12. It’s tiny, weak, and short-period. The wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the NE, which is about as good as it gets for this spot. The break is a reef, but it's listed as *rarely breaks*, so you’d be spending a lot of time staring at a calm sea. The numbers are just too low to get excited about.
The rest of the 16 days is a total bust. We have a few more scattered readings of 0.3 ft, but the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The 16th of September is the last day in the window, and it’s the same story: a tiny 0.3 ft south swell, with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind. It’s not surfable.
Forget the board for a while, folks. This is a blank run. The forecast can change, but as it sits right now, there’s nothing to recommend. I’ll be back when there’s something to talk about.
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.
