Alright, Rusty here again, now in feet and miles per hour.
Let’s be straight: this is a grim outlook. We’re looking at a big gap of nothing worth paddling for. The first time you could even think about it is the morning of Friday the 10th at Whipsiderry, and it is a total "better than nothing" situation.
Forget the early days. The only real bright spot, and I mean barely, is that Friday morning the 10th. You have a 3ft swell from the W, running at 9 seconds, and that cross-off wind is cleaning the surface right up. It is tiny and weak, energy reading is only 135, but it will be the cleanest and most surfable conditions in the whole forecast. After that, it’s back to small, choppy junk and onshore wind. There is a wave showing for the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July, a 6ft swell from the N, but with a period of only 6 seconds, it is short-period, weak, and crumbly. The energy jumps to 327, but it’ll be a mushy, poor-quality mess. The Friday the 10th morning is your only real play, and that’s a tough sell.
Rusty, out.

Information about the Whipsiderry Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Whipsiderry provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Whipsiderry can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Whipsiderry 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 (Whipsiderry) 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 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. 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.
