Whispering Waves Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

We're looking at a stretch that starts slow, but there's a serious pulse of energy coming through. The standout is a point break, Whispering Waves, and it's got a real mix of conditions. The water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about on that front.

The first real surfable window kicks off on Tuesday, August 25th, in the afternoon. We've got a solid 7ft SSW groundswell, with a 16-second period. That's a long-period swell, packing a massive punch of energy (2122). The wind is offshore from the SW, which is perfect for this spot. It's a classic setup, but this is an inconsistent break, so it's not always on. The crowd factor is "sometimes," so you might have some company on the best waves. This is a good session for experienced surfers, as the size is in that intermediate-to-expert zone.

Wednesday, August 26th, the morning is the real gem. The swell jumps to 8ft from the S, with a 17-second period. The combined energy is immense (4476), and the wind is glassy—completely dead calm. This is as clean as it gets. The wave comment says it's excellent for experienced surfers, and with that size and power, it's strictly for the crew who know what they're doing. The wind shifts in the afternoon to a strong cross-onshore, trashing the quality.

The surf drops off after that, with a few days of poor or marginal conditions. The morning of Sunday, August 30th, has a fresh offshore wind, but the swell is a weak 5ft with a short 6-second period and low energy (193). Not worth the paddle.

The big call is Wednesday, September 2nd. The morning session shows a monster 16ft SW swell, with a 15-second period. The energy is off the charts (14732). The wind is a fresh offshore. This is a serious, expert-only situation. The wave comment is "marginal" due to tide, but the raw power is undeniable. The afternoon has a strong offshore wind, but the swell drops to 8ft. This is the standout of the whole forecast; a proper, heavy swell.

The Thursday and Friday after that have some clean, offshore windows with 7ft to 12ft+ swells, but the wind is strong or near gale force, making it extremely difficult to paddle into. The morning of Saturday, September 5th, offers a clean 10ft E swell with light cross-offshore winds, which is another good, expert-only window.

After that, it's a long run of onshore wind and messy conditions, with smaller swells and poor surf quality. The last window of note is Wednesday, September 9th, with a clean, glassy morning of small 4ft to 5ft S swell, but it's a far cry from the earlier power.

So, to wrap it up: the first two days are good, but the real jaw-dropper is the September 2nd to 5th window. If you like big waves, that's your time. The rest of the period is pretty quiet.

Rusty.
