Whispering Waves Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks. Get the wax ready, because there's some good stuff in the mix.

The first real opportunity is coming up on Tuesday the 14th. It starts a bit average in the morning but the afternoon at Whispering Waves is looking clean. Expect head-high swell, around 5 ft to 7 ft, coming out of the East. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, so expect those waves to be super clean. The energy is moderate (730). It’s not a huge day, but that offshore wind into the evening Wednesday the 15th will make it worthwhile too.

Now, if you want the best of the whole outlook, circle Thursday morning the 16th. You won't believe it – completely glassy conditions, zero wind, and a nice 5 ft groundswell from the East. The energy is ramping up (805) and it’s got some length to the period (11 seconds). That is a magic window for a point break like this. It’s inconsistent here, so when it’s clean like this you have to make the most of it.

We hit a bit of a flat spell after that. Friday the 17th is still surfable in the morning with offshore winds, but the swell drops. Then Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th get messy – strong onshore winds and poor conditions. Not worth paddling out.

Keep an eye on Monday the 20th. The swell jumps up huge – we’re talking 12 ft to 13 ft from the SSW with very strong energy (4207). This is expert territory only, and the wind is messy, so you’ll need to get it at the right tide.

But here’s the real stand-out: Tuesday the 21st of July. The water is glassy in the morning, and we get a long period swell (18 seconds) from the SSW pushing 4 ft to 5 ft. The wave energy is very strong (1660). This isn't a massive day size-wise, but that period is a dream for a point break – long, clean lines with plenty of push. It's excellent for experienced surfers.

The energy holds through Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd with more offshore wind, but it gets a little cross-shore mid-week. Friday the 24th and the weekend of the 25th are small and mostly blown out.

The end of the outlook sees the swell pulse again on Wednesday the 29th of July. It’s a short period (7 seconds) but head-high (7 ft) and coming from the SSE with clean offshore wind. That’s a solid little bump to finish on.

Water temps here are about average for this time of year. Overall, the Thursday the 16th and Tuesday the 21st are your premium sessions – mark them in the calendar.

Rusty.
