The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got for Hvide Sande over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a rough stretch. The forecast shows a long run of conditions that just aren’t cooperating. We’re looking at over a week of onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the WSW and W, with a lot of choppy, poor surf. The swell is small and weak, with periods of short, wind-affected waves, and the combined energy is mostly low, often well under 100 (moderate wave energy). The water temperature is sitting at 62°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The first real standout in the whole 16-day window appears on Monday, August 4th. The swell is from the NW at 5ft, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (221). The wind is cross-on from the NW at 16 mph, which keeps things a bit messy. It’s not perfect, but it’s the most consistent push of size we see. Expect a choppy, powerful beach and point setup. This is more for experienced surfers as the size is over 5ft. Crowds are possible at this spot.
The next decent pulse comes on Sunday, August 9th. The swell is 5ft to 6ft from the W, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 212. The wind is cross-on from the WNW at 9 to 12 mph. It’s going to be a lumpy, fair-weather surf, but at least there’s some push. Again, size is over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners.
After that, Monday, August 10th offers a similar setup: 5ft from the W with a slightly longer period of 8 seconds and the highest combined energy of the whole run at 262. The wind remains cross-on from the WNW. This is probably the best of the bunch for a surfer who can handle a bit of side-onshore texture.
The final chance to grab a wave is on Wednesday, August 12th, with a 5ft swell from the NW, but the wind is a strong breeze from the WNW at 25 mph, making it messy and tough. Only for the dedicated.
Honestly, for the first week and a half there’s nothing to write home about. The wind is relentless. If you’re desperate, the 4th, 9th, and 10th of August are your best bets, but keep expectations low. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the wind locks in from the wrong direction. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough watch.
Rusty.
