The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the Hvide Sande forecast, this time in feet and Fahrenheit.
The outlook is pretty bleak for the next week and a half. Expect a long run of poor conditions with onshore and cross-onshore winds that will chop everything up. The water is about 65°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so at least it’s not a cold shock if you’re just messing around.
There’s no real surf to speak of for a solid stretch. The first glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday, the 5th of August. On the afternoon of that day, we get a weak, short-period swell from the WSW, about 4ft. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it lacks any real punch. The wind finally plays nice, going light and cross-offshore, which will give you clean lines. The combined wave energy is weak, at 90. It’s surfable, but it’s really ordinary. You’ll be out there for the exercise, not the barrels.
Before that, the only other session with some size is Sunday, the 27th of July. A 8ft NW swell rolls in, with moderate energy (582), but it’s blown out by a fresh cross-onshore wind. That size is too much for beginners and the conditions are just messy. With that wind and the beach setup, that Sunday looks like a kiteboarder’s day, not a surfer’s.
Bottom line: no standouts here. The best option is that clean, small swell on Wednesday the 5th of August. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Hvide Sande Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hvide Sande provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hvide Sande can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hvide Sande 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 (Hvide Sande) 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 Hvide Sande 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.
