Whacky Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The 16-day window starts off a bit slow, but there are a couple of windows that are gonna get the heart rate up. The first real action is this Sunday, the 9th. We’ve got a solid SW groundswell pushing 5ft at Whacky Point, with that nice 14-second period. The wind is offshore and clean in the morning. It’s not huge, but it’s got shape and power. This is the standout of the first week. The water temp is 67°, which is basically average for this time of year, nothing weird there.

Now, the forecast for Monday the 10th is a bit all over the place. There’s still surf, but the swell drops and the wind goes cross-off. It’s surfable, but not the same quality. Then Tuesday the 11th, the ocean gets angry. We’re looking at a strong 8ft S swell with a big energy jump (2471), but it’s coming with a cross-onshore wind from the SE, making it choppy and messy. This one’s for the crew who don’t mind getting bounced around and don’t care about clean faces. It’s powerful but not clean. That’s when a spot like this starts to look more like a kite session than a paddle session.

After that, the whole middle of the period just falls apart. From the 12th through the 15th, we’ve got onshore winds, lumpy seas, and waves that are either too weak or just closing out. The good news? The swell energy is low (124-844), so it’s not too dangerous, just ugly. You’ll be sitting out on the beach watching the flags flap.

We don’t see a return to form until the 16th, which is a Sunday. That morning brings a light offshore breeze with 6ft of east swell, cross-off wind, and clean conditions. The period is a bit short at 8 seconds, so it might be a bit lumpy, but at least it’s rideable. That’s the pick of the second week. It’s a promise, not a guarantee.

The 18th and 19th have some cleaner conditions with lighter winds and a bit less swell (5-6ft), but it’s not as strong as that Sunday. The period stays around 10 seconds, so it’s more of a fun, mellow wave. The last few days, the 21st through the 23rd, are mostly a write-off with strong winds and tiny surf. The 23rd has a hint of a long-period SW swell (16 seconds) but it’s small and the wind is fickle. It’s just a tease.

So, the bottom line – if you can get out Sunday morning, the 9th, you’re on. That’s the one. The 16th is the second-best bet, but the call is less certain. The rest is either flat or a washing machine.
