The Lowdown
Alright, let’s translate that into feet and miles per hour for you. Rusty here again, and the outlook for Redcar Scars is a tough one.
We’re looking at a massive dry spell right from the start. There’s absolutely nothing worth paddling out for until the 17th of September. That’s over a week of flatness, with wind and swell doing nothing for us. The combined energy readings are all in the single or double digits for a long stretch, so don’t bother checking the cam.
The first and only flicker of life shows up on Thursday the 17th of September. Thursday morning we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the north, with a period around 12 seconds, and a combined energy of 74. That’s weak, but the wind is a gentle offshore out of the southwest, keeping the surface clean. By Thursday afternoon, the swell bumps up to about 2ft, with the combined energy hitting a moderate 101. The winning ticket here is the moderate offshore breeze from the west-southwest. It’ll be clean, though the waves are still feeble.
This break likes swell from the north-northeast, and we’re getting it from the north and north-northeast, so it’s a decent angle. The water temperature is around 60°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for now. This is a beginner reef, and the forecast says these are just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s the best we have, but it’s still a struggle. The crowds here are sometimes a problem, but on a period this flat, you’ll be the only one trying.
Later on, around the 24th, the swell numbers get bigger—around 3ft with a strong offshore blow—but the wind will be howling so hard it’ll be a nightmare to get out. It’s a long wait for very little payoff, I’m afraid.
Rusty.

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.
