The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down in feet and miles per hour.
This is a grim outlook for Redcar Scars. The whole 16-day window is flat, no two ways about it. The wave energy never shows up, and the conditions are mostly messy. It’s a long dry spell, and it’s not looking like it’ll change.
Starting on Sunday the 19th, we’ve got a 2.3m NNE swell, but it’s short period at 9 seconds, and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 30 km/h. The water’s at 15°, which is normal for the season, but the surf is poor. The combined energy is moderate (865), but it’s lumpy and choppy.
Monday the 20th is a bit cleaner with onshore wind, but the swell drops to 1.3m, period of 8 seconds. Energy is weak (240). Still poor. The rest of the week is the same story: small swells, cross-onshore winds. By Friday the 24th, we get a glassy afternoon, but the swell is only 0.6m with a 6-second period and energy of 28. Clean, but nothing to surf.
After that, the swell vanishes. From the 26th onward, the wave energy is in the single digits. The cleanest conditions come on the 29th and 30th of July, with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is 0.7m or less. It’s clean, but it’s flat.
There’s no standout session. Your best bet is Friday the 24th afternoon for the glassy water and tiny 0.6m swell. That’s a longboard-only, if you’re lucky.
Rusty.

Information about the Redcar Scars Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Redcar Scars provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Redcar Scars can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Redcar Scars 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 (Redcar Scars) 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 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.
