The Lowdown
Alright, let's have a look at what's cookin' for Hvide Sande.
Honestly, for the next week and a bit, things are looking pretty grim. We've got a run of poor surf conditions stretching from now right through to the 25th of August. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the sea surface is just chopped up and lumpy. For a good ten days or so, you’re better off staying home and waxing your board. There's barely a whisper of a ridable wave in that whole stretch.
The first glimmer of something real shows up on Thursday the 28th of August. Now, the morning session on the 28th is marginal, with a 10 ft swell from the NW and very light wind. The energy is massive though - we're talking about 1507 (combined energy of all swells directed here). That is serious power. But that size makes it a real handful, strictly for the experts. By the afternoon of the 28th, the wind drops off to almost nothing from the WNW, and the swell holds at 10 ft (1053 energy). The conditions look clean with just light cross-on wind ripples. This is the standout moment, but only for experienced surfers who know the sandbars here. The wave period is a modest 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit sectiony on these bigger waves.
Then, on Saturday the 29th of August, we get a change. The wind swings around to the ESE and goes offshore. It's a moderate to fresh breeze, but it's offshore, so it’ll be clean. The swell drops to a much friendlier 5 ft in the morning (269 energy) and 4 ft in the afternoon (213 energy), still from the WNW. This is the best bet for the average surfer in the whole 16-day window. It’s smaller, it's clean, and you'll actually be able to paddle out without fear. It won't be world-class, but it’s something to get hopeful for.
So, to call it: the entire forecast is a bust until the very end. The real standouts are the big, expert-only 10 ft waves on the 28th, but the clean, offshore session on the morning of the 29th with that 5 ft is the most accessible good wave on offer.
Take care and keep your wetsuit handy.
