Alright, let’s talk about Whipsiderry in proper units. Rusty here, and this stretch of forecast is a slow burner. Don’t bother paddling out until Wednesday morning, July 8th—everything before that is just small, choppy junk with cross-onshore winds.
Wednesday morning, the wind goes glassy, light from the NNW, and the swell is a tiny 0.7m (2 ft) from the west with a 9-second period. The energy is weak (90), so just knee-high dribble. The water temp is 16° (61°F), about average for the season. It’s surfable, but nothing special.
Friday, July 10th, looks a bit better. Swell lifts to 0.9m (3 ft) from the west, period still 9 seconds, and the wind from the ENE turns cross-offshore and stays light. Combined energy hits 137 (moderate). It’s clean but still small. Saturday afternoon, July 11th, wind drops to a slight air from the ENE, swell 1.1m (4 ft) from the NNW, but a short 7-second period means it’ll be a little messy. That’s the best of the first week.
The real one to circle is Tuesday, July 21st. Morning brings a solid 2.5m (8 ft) west swell, 9-second period, and a fresh offshore wind from the ESE at 30 km/h (19 mph). The combined energy is a massive 1056—that’s strong power. This is expert territory. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a gentle breeze from the NE and a 2.4m (8 ft) swell still going. That’s the session, but it’s far out, so stay flexible.
Crowds can be a factor here, especially on that big Tuesday. The break is fairly consistent and exposed to the west, which these swells love. Beginners should steer clear of that 2.5m (8 ft) day—it’s a lot of water moving around.
So, slow start, but the second week packs a punch. Keep the wax handy.
Rusty.

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.
