Whispering Waves Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about the run at Whispering Waves (point). This here is a point break that needs a good south swell to get going, and it’s inconsistent, so you gotta be ready when the stars align.

Surf shows up Sunday morning, July 12, and that’s the early highlight. We’re looking at a 6 ft south swell with a 12-second period, and the wind is glassy from the NE at just 3 mph. That’s about as clean as it gets. The water temp is what you’d expect for this time of year. Combined wave energy is moderate (820). The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but it’s gonna be worth it.

Sunday afternoon gets messy with storms and a cross-shore breeze, so get your fill in the morning.

Monday the 13th has a bigger 7 ft swell but from the east with a short 8-second period and onshore wind. Not the right direction for the point, and the short period will make it crumble.

Tuesday morning the 14th is another good one. Glassy again, wind from the WSW at 3 mph, with a clean 6 ft east swell at 9 seconds. Energy is moderate (638). That glassy surface is the key.

Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th have some clean-ish moments, but the swell is just okay.

Now, Friday the 17th afternoon, we see a big jump. 10 ft from the SSW with a 12-second period and a moderate offshore wind. That’s strong wave energy (2703). This is big, expert-only territory. The point will be holding some size, but you need to know what you’re doing.

Saturday the 18th morning stays big at 10 ft from the south with a 13-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore. Combined energy is very high (3155). The quality won’t be there for clean surfing, and it gets worse in the afternoon. This might be more of a kite day.

The next few days, from Sunday the 19th through Tuesday the 22nd, are mostly a write-off with strong onshore winds and small to weak swell. There’s a real gap in quality surf.

Then we see a second pulse. Wednesday the 22nd afternoon brings 7 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period and moderate offshore wind. Energy is strong (2059). The long period will give the point good shape, but the wind isn’t perfect.

The best window of the whole 16 days is the morning of Friday, July 24. A clean 5 ft of SSW swell with a very long 14-second period and glassy wind from the NW at 3 mph. Energy is high (1579), but the size is very manageable. It’s described as excellent for experienced surfers, but the glassy conditions and that direction on the point will make for some of the best waves of the run. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you’ve got a real shot at some great ones.

After that, the swell continues but the wind becomes less cooperative.

So, in short: you’ve got a few standout mornings, especially that July 12 and the July 24 morning. The rest is a waiting game on an inconsistent but high-quality point break.

Rusty.
