Whispering Waves Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next stretch.

We’re talkin’ about Whispering Waves, a point break that loves a south swell, but it’s inconsistent – it needs the right alignment to fire. The coming days are a mixed bag, with a lot of onshore wind messin’ things up, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get the heart pumpin’. The first good surf doesn’t show up until Thursday the 6th, so the start of the week is a write-off.

Thursday the 6th morning is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SW, with a gentle offshore wind. The period is a hearty 15 seconds, so that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate (475). It’s small, but the point will be glassy and clean. Not a standout for size, but if you’re lookin’ for a smooth, uncrowded session, this is your moment.

Saturday the 8th afternoon is our first real standout. The wind swings offshore, moderate and clean, and the swell bumps up to 8ft from the SSW. The period drops to 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but the energy is moderate (917). The offshore breeze will keep it clean. At 8ft, this is expert territory – too big for beginners. The point should handle the short period better than a beach break, so there’ll be some punchy, hollow walls.

Sunday the 9th is the absolute peak of the forecast. The morning is wild: 10ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and a fresh offshore wind. The combined energy is strong (3243). This is a serious, long-period groundswell. It’s only for the experienced crew. The afternoon gets even better: 8ft, 17-second period, moderate offshore, and the energy rockets to 3702 (very strong). This is the best on offer – big, powerful lines with the wind cleaning up every face. Expect a few people out, as crowds are possible here.

After that, the swell slowly backs off. Monday the 10th still has a solid 7ft from the S with a 13-second period, but the wind turns cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be a bit bumpy. Energy is moderate (1576). The quality drops.

There’s a quiet spell from Tuesday the 11th onward, with small, onshore junk until Thursday the 13th afternoon, when a 5ft, 18-second SSW groundswell shows up with a clean cross-offshore wind. Energy is moderate (1367). It’s a sneaky good session, but the water is gonna be warm enough – feels about average for this time of year.

The final week into the 17th sees some bigger swell (7ft to 8ft, SSW direction), but it’s mostly blown out by onshore or cross-onshore winds. Not worth the paddle.

So, the headline is: Sunday the 9th afternoon is the session to plan for. Big, clean, long-period groundswell. If you’ve got the skills, you’ll be smilin’ for days.

Rusty.
