Whispering Waves Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break that down in feet and miles per hour.

We got a real mixed bag coming. First week is mostly a bust with onshore wind and tiny, weak swell, but there’s a big pulse of energy building for the tail end of the second week that’s got me stoked. Gotta be patient.

Kicks off on Thursday the 13th, and it’s locked into a poor pattern for days. Onshore breeze, messy little south-southwest swell. The energy is weak, nowhere near enough to bother with.

First real chance shows Saturday the 15th. Whispering Waves gets a small east swell, only about 4ft, but the wind goes glassy in the afternoon. Moderate energy, and with perfect conditions you might score a few fun ones. It’s an inconsistent point break, and crowds can pop up, so pick your moment. Water temp is around 68°, pretty much normal for this time of year.

Then we sink back into onshore wind and tiny surf until mid-week. Wednesday the 19th gives a clean window with a gentle offshore breeze and a small 2ft south-southwest swell. Clean, but small.

Now, the one to circle. Saturday the 22nd of August. Whispering Waves gets hammered by a solid south-southwest groundswell. Swell height jumps to 8ft with a super long 16-second period, and the energy readings are massive. The wind is offshore and clean. This is excellent, expert-level surf. Too big for beginners, but for the crew who can handle it, it’ll be unreal. That long-period groundswell will wrap beautifully into a point break.

Quality holds into Sunday the 23rd with a clean 3ft swell and moderate offshore wind. Solid weekend.

Onshores return after that, dropping us back into small, poor-quality surf until Wednesday the 26th, which brings a glassy, clean morning with 3ft of south-southwest swell. Nice, but small.

Finally, Friday the 28th of August looks promising with a moderate offshore wind and a clean 4ft swell from the south-west, a very long 16-second period, and moderate energy. A clean finish.

Rusty.
