The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. For Hvide Sande, the first real stretch of decent surf doesn’t show up until Saturday the 23rd of August. Before that there’s a long, flat, messy patch with onshore junk and hardly anything rideable. So we’re waiting nearly two weeks for anything worth paddling out for.
When it does arrive, it’s not a full-on classic, but there’s something to get excited about.
The standout moment looks like Sunday the 23rd afternoon. Swell bumps up to about 5ft, coming from the WNW with a period around 7 seconds – not the longest but you’ll feel the push. Best of all, the wind turns offshore from the ESE, which should give you clean, lined-up waves at Hvide Sande. That stretch is a beach and point setup so with offshore winds it could actually shape up nicely. Combined energy is moderate at 206 – enough to get some work done.
Also worth a mention is the morning of Sunday the 23rd. Similar size, around 5ft, with cross-offshore wind from the ESE giving clean conditions too. Energy a little lower at 167, but still surfable.
The morning of Saturday the 22nd is glassy – barely any wind, only 2ft from the SW with a short 5 second period – so it’s not going to hold much power. That one’s for the longboard or a splash around.
Water temp is about 64°F, which is bang on average for mid-August – nothing wild there.
But honestly, the first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. Don’t waste your time. Waves are either too small, too windy, or the periods are too short to do anything. There’s also a couple of bigger days around the 16th and 17th with swell over 6ft, but the wind is cross-onshore and strong, making it lumpy and messy – more of a kite-surf setup than a paddle session.
Keep your eye on the 23rd – that’s the only window that really deserves your wax.
