The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Hvide Sande.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch ahead. For the next 16 days, the ocean is just not cooperating. There’s a massive gap with no real surf to get excited about. The first week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 10-11 days of messy, blown-out conditions before anything even worth paddling out for shows up. The wind is relentless, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is either too short-period and weak or way too big and wild.
The only real glimmer in this whole forecast comes right at the very end. On Thursday, the 17th of September, things finally line up. The wind swings around to the northeast and north-northeast, giving us a clean cross-offshore breeze. The swell is still a solid 8ft to 7ft from the northwest, with a period of 8-9 seconds, so there’s some proper push behind it. The combined energy is strong (987 on Thursday morning, 547 in the afternoon). This is expert territory with that size, but for those who charge, it’ll be the best-looking conditions we’ve had in ages. The break is exposed, so it’ll take the full force of that swell. Keep in mind, with a period under 11 seconds, it’s not a long, drawn-out groundswell, but it’ll have enough shape to be fun on the sets.
Water temperature is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing extreme, just a little bonus.
The rest of the window is a no-go. Friday the 18th of September has a brief moment of clean, offshore wind from the east with a small 5ft swell, but it’s a weak, short-period WSW swell (6 seconds) and the energy is measly (133). It’s surfable but very ordinary. After that, it drops right back into the gutter.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother until Thursday the 17th of September. That’s your one standout day, and even then, it’s only for the experienced crew. The rest of the time, the North Sea is just having a tantrum.
Rusty, signing off.
