The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim picture for the Redcar area. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 4th, and even then it’s barely on the radar. Between now and then, and through most of the period, there are long gaps of flat to tiny, choppy junk. Don’t get your hopes up.
The standout of the entire window, if you can call it that, is Redcar Scars on Tuesday the 4th. We’ve got a pulse of swell coming in from the ENE at 5ft, but it’s only a short-period 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. The big win here is the wind. Tuesday morning the wind is a light cross-off from the SSE at 3 mph, cleaning things up, and by the afternoon it goes dead glassy with a SW wind at 0 mph. The combined wave energy is moderate (205) and (165) respectively, so there’s a little bit of push. It’s not great, but it’s the only window with a chance of a few fun, clean waves. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 62°, which is a small comfort.
Wednesday the 5th starts with a fresh offshore wind from the SW at 19 mph, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the NNE. It’ll be clean, but there’s just not enough water to do much. By the afternoon, the wind cranks up to 25 mph, making it hard to even paddle into those little waves. After that, we’re back to small, weak, and onshore junk for days on end. The rest of the second week is a total washout with flat spells from the 15th onward.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, Tuesday the 4th is your only real shot. Otherwise, keep the board in the shed and wait for the next proper swell.
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.
