The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Alright, let’s be straight with you – this 16-day forecast for Sandy Beach (Bermuda) is a real bust. There’s nothing in the way of a decent surf session, with cross-shore wind and messy conditions dominating the whole run. The water’s running about average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but that’s the only bright spot.

We start Sunday, August 2nd, with a 8ft ENE swell, but it’s got a short 8-second period and a strong breeze out of the ENE at 25 mph, creating a nasty cross-chop. The wave energy’s moderate at 1099, but the surf is poor. That cross-shore wind sticks around through Monday, with the swell dropping to 5ft and energy falling to 481. Nothing to get excited about.

Tuesday the 4th shows a little promise – the swell holds at 5ft with a longer 11-second period, and the wind eases to a moderate 12 mph. Energy’s still moderate at 587, but the cross-shore chop keeps it marginal at best. From there, it’s a long, flat slog. Wednesday through Friday sees the swell hover around 3ft to 4ft, with short periods and fresh breezes, energy dropping into the 100s and 200s. The whole week’s a write-off.

A gap of several days with no real recommendations follows. By Sunday, August 9th, we’re still stuck with 6ft swells and strong breezes, energy around 560, but the wind’s still cross-shore and lumpy. Into the second week, things get weird. Monday the 10th brings a tiny 2ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, but the ENE wind at 22 mph just chops it up. The energy’s moderate at 471, but the surf’s poor. Tuesday’s similar with a 2ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and the same windy mess.

Wednesday the 12th sees a 3ft S swell with a gnarly 18-second period – that’s some serious groundswell energy – and the combined energy jumps to 909, which is moderate. But the wind’s still moderate and cross-shore, so it’s all lumpy. Thursday through Saturday the 15th keeps the S swell alive around 3ft to 4ft, with periods from 15 to 16 seconds, but the wind stays cross-shore or cross-onshore, with fresh breezes, keeping the surf poor. The energy’s moderate, peaking at 874 on the 13th, but it’s all for nothing.

The last day, Monday, August 17th, has a 6ft ENE swell with an 8-second period, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy, energy at 585. Honestly, this whole outlook is a dud. There’s no standout session, no clean window. If you’ve got a kite, the strong cross-shore winds might be more your thing, but for paddle surfing, it’s a blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough stretch.

Rusty.

Information about the Sandy Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Sandy Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Sandy Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Sandy Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Sandy Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Sandy Beach 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Sandy's Beach is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Kailua. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kailua. Kailua has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
