Table - best surf conditions forecast for Whipsiderry over the next 16 days.
Howdy, it's Rusty again. Looking at Whipsiderry for the next couple of weeks, it's mostly a waiting game. The surf shows up, finally, on Wednesday the 22nd.
The Big Picture
It's a long quiet run for the first eleven days. Not much to get excited about. You can hang your board up for a while.
The Best Bet: Wednesday, 22nd July
That Wednesday morning, we get a 6ft swell out of the W. That’s a serious wave – best for experienced riders. The period is short, only about 7 seconds, so expect some jumbled energy, but the wind is offshore from the SE at 12 mph. That’s the key – clean, groomed waves. The combined energy is a solid 342. The afternoon sees the swell drop to about 5ft and the wind goes cross-off from the ESE at 9 mph, which is still surfable.
The Days After
Thursday the 23rd is just okay, with 4ft swell and a 22 mph offshore wind that’s a bit too strong. Friday and Saturday are mostly cross-shore wind and lumpy. Saturday afternoon has a 6ft swell and 19 mph winds, but it’s cross-shore and choppy.
The Call
If you only get one session, make it Wednesday the 22nd morning. That’s the window. The rest can wait.

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.
