The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Redcar Scars.
To be straight with you, it's a pretty lean run ahead. There's a big gap before anything worthwhile shows up. We've got a long stretch of tiny to no surf from now until the middle of next week, with all that weak energy and poor conditions. Don't bother paddling out for that.
The first real glimmer of something actually rideable comes on Wednesday, September 23rd. You'll see a spike in energy – a decent signal. But here's the thing: the swell jumps to 5.9ft from the North, with a period of 9 seconds. That's a decent push, but the wind swings onshore from the NNE in the afternoon, so you'll want to be out there earlier in the day when it's just a light cross-shore. It's a reef break, and for beginners, 5.9ft can be a bit much, so maybe keep an eye from the car park if you're just starting out.
Then the real standout, if you've got the patience for it, is Tuesday, September 29th. It's a long way out, so treat this one as hopeful rather than certain, but the models are showing a nice clean setup. You've got a 5.2ft swell from the NNW pushing in with a solid jolt of energy. The wind is offshore from the SW at 12 mph, which should keep the face of those waves nice and clean. That short-period 7-second swell will give you a tighter, punchier wave at this reef, not a lazy groundswell. The water temp is likely about average for this time of year.
Crowds can sometimes be an issue at Redcar Scars, so if that north-west swell lines up right, it might get a bit busy. For the surfer who's been waiting, that Tuesday is the best bet on offer.
