The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about this stretch. To be straight with you, this is a tough run. There’s a big ol’ gap right at the start. From now through to the morning of Monday the 21st of September, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. That's a solid two-week dry spell. The charts are showing either flat calm or tiny, weak, and messy conditions that just aren’t gonna line up. So, if you’re Jonesing for a wave, you’re gonna have to be patient.
For the only break on the radar, Recco, it’s a reef setup that rarely breaks, so when it does, you gotta pay attention. The water temp is sitting at 28°, which is a massive 5° warmer than what’s normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, definitely a sign of things being out of whack.
Finally, on Monday morning the 21st of September, we get a little pulse. We’re looking at a 3 ft SSW swell with a period of 6 seconds. That period is short, so the energy is weak at (55) – barely moderate. It’s coming from the SSE, which isn’t its absolute optimum but it’s close enough for the break. The wind is light offshore from the North at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. But honestly, it’s small and short-period, so it’s really just a little bit of movement for a longboard or a foiler. Don’t expect much. It’s surfable, but that’s about the best compliment I can give it.
Everything after that drops back to zero again. There’s no standout day, no big winner. This is just one of those blank periods for the area. It happens.
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.
