Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Redcar Scars over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. There’s no real run of proper surf to get excited about, just a few moments where it might be worth a paddle if you’re really desperate.

The only window that shows any life at all is this Friday afternoon, July 3rd. We’ve got a small 3 ft swell rolling in from the N, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at 74. But the wind is WSW at 9 mph and blowing offshore, which will keep the surface clean. The water temp is sitting at 59°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s tiny, it’s gentle, but it’s the best on offer right now. If you’re a beginner, this is your time to get wet on a reef break that is inconsistent, so don’t expect much. Crowds are possible sometimes.

After that, things go flat and messy. From Saturday July 4th all the way through to Friday July 10th, we’ve got a string of days with poor surf conditions. The swell drops right off, and the wind is mostly cross-off or cross-on, with speeds picking up to 22 mph at times – not good. There are a couple of moments on Wednesday July 8th where a 2 ft swell comes in with a 10-second period, giving a bit more energy (94), and the wind is light and cross-off, but it’s still just too small to call it a worthwhile session.

We then hit a real flat spell. From Saturday July 11th right through to Friday July 17th, there’s hardly any swell to speak of – we’re talking 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft and period dropping to 2 seconds on the 17th. Energy readings are mostly in the single digits. It’s a proper dead period. On Wednesday July 15th we even get a glassy morning but with zero swell, so it’s a lake out there.

Finally, on Saturday July 18th, we see a little spike. The morning brings a 4 ft swell from the NE with a 5-second period, energy at 65. The wind is WSW at 6 mph and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. But the period is short, so it’s gonna be lumpy and weak. The afternoon has a 3 ft swell but the wind goes cross, and it’s still messy. This is more than a week away, so treat it as promising but not something to bank on.

Overall, this is a lean run for Redcar Scars. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change. Right now, if you really need to get wet, Friday July 3rd is your only real shout.

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.

Redcar Scars is 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Redcar. If you plan a holiday in North East England, look for hotels and other accommodation in Redcar. Redcar has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
