The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what we're seeing for Hvide Sande.
Honestly, it's a grim picture for the next 16 days. The first week is a total write-off, flat as a pancake, with the first glimmer of anything surfable not popping up until September 2nd. That's a long, boring stretch.
The water is sitting at about 63°F, which is pretty much standard for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The one and only time this spot looks like it might have a pulse is on Wednesday, September 2nd. There's a solid 10ft swell coming from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. That's a groundswell, meaning it'll have some real punch and shape to it. The combined energy reading is 1115 (moderate wave energy), so there's no shortage of power. However, the wind is swinging cross-onshore from the SW at 19 mph, which will chop it up and make it sloppy. Since this is a beach and point setup, anything over 8ft is expert territory. It'll be a wild, blustery mess, but there’ll be power for the few brave enough.
The rest of the second week has more swell, but the wind stays terrible. On September 8th, we get a massive 12ft swell from the west with a 11-second period and a combined energy of 3051 (strong to very strong wave energy), but it's getting hammered by a 25 mph onshore wind. That's not surfing, that's survival. Then on the 9th, the swell drops to 5ft, but the wind is a near-gale at 34 mph. Another blown-out day.
Bottom line: this is a really poor outlook. All the energy is there, but the wind is completely ruining it. Your only real chance for something halfway decent is the 2nd of September at the crack of dawn before the wind ruins it. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and look for shelter.
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.

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.
