The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Redcar Scars over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough run. The next week and a half is looking pretty grim. Don’t expect much of anything until we get to the second weekend in August. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell, mostly under 2 ft, with a period that’s barely getting out of bed – mostly 5 to 8 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. The wind is blowing cross-on or onshore for most of it, keeping things messy even when there’s a tiny bit of height. The combined energy barely pushes into double digits for most of that stretch, so you’re looking at very weak wave energy (13-32). Basically, there’s nothing to ride here for a solid week and a half.
Now, the first real flicker of hope comes on Saturday, August 8th. The morning shows a bit of life. The wind swings to the southwest, light, at 3 mph, and it’s offshore. That’s a massive plus. The swell is small, coming in at 3 ft from the northeast, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 102, so there’s a bit of push. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 62°F. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the cleanest surf we’ve seen in a while. The afternoon glass off later that day is also clean, but the swell drops off to 2 ft.
The real standout, if you can hold out, is Friday, August 14th in the morning. The wind is light out of the west-northwest at 3 mph, and the conditions are glassy. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the east-northeast with a period of 6 seconds, delivering moderate energy (130). This is a short-period swell, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and won’t have the same punch as a longer period, but that glassy wind will make it look the best of the entire forecast. The break is a reef, so it’s a bit more forgiving on the shape with that short period, but remember, it’s inconsistent here, so sit and wait.
The best of the best is that Saturday morning, August 8th, and the Friday morning, August 14th. The 14th is the pick of the two for the cleaner conditions. Don’t expect anything world-class, but it’s the only game in town.
That’s the long and short of it. Hang in there.
