Whispering Waves Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Whispering Waves.

Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are pumping out some serious size – 10ft to 12ft – but the wind is howling from the east and northeast, onshore or cross-on at 18 to 22 mph. That’s just messy, lumpy, no good for paddlin’ into. The combined energy is huge, over 2000, but it’s all wind-affected junk. Not worth the hassle.

Things finally settle down on Tuesday the 15th. The morning brings a real change: a clean 3ft swell from the SW, with a lovely 12-second period, and a light cross-off breeze. The energy drops right back to a manageable 263, but that’s a sweet, lined-up wave for an intermediate. This is the first real window. Whispering Waves is a point break, so that longer-period SW groundswell will wrap in nicely. Water temp is 63°, which is a solid 5° colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll want a thicker suit or a bootie.

Wednesday the 16th stays small, with a 3ft SW swell again in the morning, but the wind swings offshore from the SW at 22 mph. It’s clean, but that’s a fresh breeze making it a bit bumpy and a tough paddle. Afternoon drops to 2ft with a very long 15-second period – too small to get excited about.

Thursday the 17th is the standout. The afternoon session is where it’s at: a 7ft swell from the SSE, 8-second period, with a clean cross-off breeze from the south at only 9 mph. The energy is a solid 913 – moderate, but well-shaped. This is a proper, fun size for the experienced crew. The morning has 7ft but the wind is a bit stronger. Aim for the afternoon glass-off.

Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th are back to poor form. Onshore easterly winds and messy, lumpy waves in the 6ft to 12ft range. Not your friend.

Sunday the 20th gets huge again – 13ft in the morning with a NE onshore gale at 19 mph. Energy is over 3700. That’s a full-on, blown-out mess. Not for paddling.

Now, Monday the 21st is another real highlight. A 7ft swell from the E, 10-second period, and a clean offshore SSW breeze at 12 mph. The comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That 7ft is solid, the wind is perfect, and the energy is 1564 – strong but manageable for the right crew. That’s the pick of the second week.

Tuesday the 22nd through Friday the 25th is a dead zone. Onshore winds, messy conditions, and small, weak swells. Friday the 25th afternoon has a tiny 1ft SW swell.

Saturday the 26th is more onshore junk.

Sunday the 27th brings a nice little surprise: morning glass, 3 mph from the south, with a 3ft SSW groundswell at an 11-second period. The combined energy is 409 – weak, but the conditions are glassy. That’s a fun, small-wave session for a point break. The afternoon stays clean but drops off a bit.

Monday the 28th afternoon shows a final pulse: 8ft from the SSW, but with a short 7-second period. The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but that short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly and fat. Worth a look if you’re desperate.

Overall, the best bets are Thursday the 17th afternoon and Monday the 21st morning for the experienced crew. Tuesday the 15th morning and Sunday the 27th morning are the smaller, cleaner windows for intermediates. The first week is a slow start, but it picks up. The second week has a big gap from the 22nd to the 26th where it’s mostly poor.
