Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, for the first week and a bit, it’s a bit of a write-off at Redcar Scars. The wind is mostly cross-on, the swell is small and weak, and the combined energy is pitiful. We’re looking at a dry spell from now through to the 18th of July. The waves that do show up are just messy and not worth paddling out for. You’d be better off waiting.
That all changes on the morning of Sunday the 19th. That’s the standout. We’ve got a clean 6.9ft swell rolling in from the NNE with a 9-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off from the west. The combined energy jumps right up (702) – that’s a proper amount of power. The morning session is going to be absolutely firing, clean lines, real quality. Afternoon, the wind switches onshore and messes it up, so you need to be on it early. This one is for the experienced crew; it’s solid.
After that, Monday the 20th morning has a glassy 4.6ft, but it’s a bit ordinary – surfable, but nothing to write home about. The rest of the week after that is back to small, weak, and crossed-up. There’s a little window on Friday the 24th afternoon with a 3.9ft from the SE and light cross-shore, but it’s still just average. Nothing else really stands out in the second week – it’s all under 3ft and mostly clean but tiny.
So, if you’re after the one true moment, it’s that Sunday the 19th morning. Don’t miss it.

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.
