The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Hvide Sande.
Straight up, this is a tough one. For the next week and a half, the conditions are just plain ugly. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf with onshore and cross-shore winds that'll have the surface all chopped up and lumpy. It's a real bummer of a start.
The water is sitting at 65°F, which is a full 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a seriously warm blanket, but with the wind messing everything up, it's not much comfort.
On Friday the 22nd, we finally get a little window. Wednesday afternoon sees a clean-up with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. The swell is a modest 6ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds and a moderate wave energy (322). It's not going to be epic, but it'll be the first clean waves we've seen in a while. For a beginner spot like Hvide Sande, that's a decent chance to get wet without getting thrashed.
Then we go back into the drought. After that, it's more of the same poor conditions, onshore winds, and messy surf all the way through the end of July. There's a tiny moment on Monday the 27th morning where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is a weak 3ft from the WSW with a period of only 5 seconds and a low energy of 72. It's surfable, but "very ordinary" is the kindest way to put it. You'll be scratching for anything.
The best of the whole outlook is a real long shot. On Tuesday the 28th morning, we get a 1ft swell from the NW with a period of 12 seconds. That's a long-period groundswell, and with a light offshore breeze from the ESE, the conditions are clean. The energy is tiny though (53), so it's more of a promise than a real session. The long period means it'll be tricky for a beach break like Hvide Sande, and it might just wrap around the point and offer a few clean lines for the dedicated.
Honestly, for the first two weeks, there's nothing to get excited about. The wind is just wrong. This setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of the period. The only real standout, and it's a shaky one, is that Wednesday afternoon the 22nd and the very clean but tiny morning of the 28th. Keep your eyes on the forecast, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty, signing off.
