The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what Hvide Sande’s got cookin’.
Well, to be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. There’s a whole lot of nothing happening for the first week and a bit, with onshore winds and messy conditions. The first real sniff of anything decent doesn’t show until Tuesday the 4th of August, so we’re looking at a solid gap with no real recommendations before that.
From the 27th of July right through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s a write-off. Strong winds from the WNW and SW are just chopping everything up, with swell heights hanging around 2ft to 7ft but all ruined by cross-onshore or onshore wind. The energy’s there on the 27th with a combined energy of 361 and even 513 on the afternoon, but it’s all “strong cross-onshore and messy,” so unless you’re wanting to get thrashed, give it a miss.
Right, so we get to Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning at Hvide Sande is finally looking interesting. We’ve got glassy conditions – that’s a major positive. The wind is light from the NNW at just 3 mph, and that’s a big deal for clean waves. The swell is a small 3ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is 146 (moderate). It’s not huge, but with those glassy conditions, it’ll be the cleanest we’ve seen in a while, and the wave state says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” For a beach and point setup like this, that glassy wind is the selling point. Crowds are listed as “sometimes” so you might see a few others.
After that, the wind swings back onshore and it’s mostly poor again. The 7th of August brings a bit more size with 5ft from the W, but it’s a strong cross-onshore again. Later, on Monday the 10th of August in the afternoon, we see a spike to 10ft from the NW with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 946 (strong wave energy). Sounds powerful, but the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. That size is only for the experienced crew, and with that short period, it’ll be a bit of a close-out mess at a beach setup. Probably more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfing, to be honest.
So, the standout here is the Tuesday morning, 4th of August. It’s the only time the wind truly cleans up and gives you a window. Keep an eye on that one. Water temp is about average for this time of year, no major anomaly. The rest of the period is mostly a battle with the wind.
