The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Redcar Scars over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any surf to speak of for the first two weeks. The water is sitting at 60°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only bright spot.
From Monday the 7th right through to Sunday the 20th, it’s mostly flat or tiny. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best, with swell heights barely scraping 1ft. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, which would be great if there was any wave to clean up, but there isn’t. The combined wave energy is pitiful, mostly single digits or low double digits, like 25 on Monday, and often just a measly 1 or 2. The period is short and weak, under 9 seconds, so there’s no push. For a reef break like this, it’s just not happening. Wednesday the 9th throws up a bit of a pulse, with 6ft on the morning and a glassy 5ft in the afternoon, and the energy jumps to 466 and 259, but the forecast still calls it marginal. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but I wouldn’t get too excited.
Then, we get a glimmer. Look ahead to Tuesday the 22nd of September. The morning shows a solid 10ft swell from the north, with a period of 8 seconds and a massive combined energy of 1272. The wind is light from the WNW, which is a clean cross-off, and the forecast is calling for very good surf conditions. That’s a big one for the experts. The afternoon gets even bigger, with 12ft, but the wind swings onshore from the NNE, making it a bit of a mess. The morning window on the 22nd is the real standout. That’s a lot of water moving, and with a 10ft north swell, Redcar Scars will be firing. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but right now, that’s our only real chance.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Redcar Scars can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Redcar Scars 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.
