The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Whipsiderry.
Straight up, the next few days are a write-off for any decent waves. We’re looking at a long dry spell with no recommended surf until the afternoon of Monday, 3rd of August. Don’t bother checking the ocean before then; it’s mostly flat or tiny, and when there’s a little bump, the wind is junk. The first real chance we get is that Monday afternoon.
The standout session in this whole 16-day window is Monday afternoon, August 3rd. We’ve got a 5 ft swell rolling in from the WSW with a 9-second period. It’s not huge, but the wind is offshore out of the SE, which will scrub the faces clean. The combined energy is moderate (301), so there’ll be enough push for a fun session on a longboard or hybrid. This is the one to pencil in.
The morning of Tuesday, August 4th, is okay too. The swell stays around 5 ft from the W, but the period drops a bit. Winds are cross-offshore from the SSW, keeping it clean. The water temp at the start of the period is 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can get away with a spring suit.
After that, it gets messy again. There’s plenty of wind and the swell gets jumbled up. There is one bright spot in the second week: the morning of Sunday, 2nd of August is clean with cross-offshore easterly winds, but the swell is only 2 ft with 9 seconds of period and very low energy (60). It’s a tiny, clean ankle-slapper for the dedicated longboarder only.
Overall, if you want waves you can sink your teeth into, aim for that Monday, 3rd of August. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

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 Whipsiderry 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.
