Whispering Waves Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been digging into what’s coming for Whispering Waves. This is a point break, exposed to the south, and it’s inconsistent—so we don’t get waves every day, but when it fires, it’s a beauty. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.

The pattern starts slow, builds into a killer run of clean, offshore surf in the first week, then fades into a long quiet stretch before one more promising window at the very end. The standout is Monday afternoon, August 10th—2.0m (7ft) SSW groundswell, 12-second period, with a light offshore breeze. Clean, powerful, and the combined swell energy is 1902 (strong). This is the one to aim for.

Friday morning, August 7th, starts off with 1.2m (4ft) SSW and light offshore wind—clean, combined energy 557 (moderate). A nice little warm-up. That afternoon, wind goes cross-on and the quality drops.

Saturday, August 8th, is messy in the morning with cross-on breeze and 1.3m (4ft) SSW, period 15 seconds—long-period groundswell that can run a bit straight on a point, but still has push. The afternoon cleans up with 25 km/h (16 mph) offshore wind and 1.1m (4ft) SW swell, but it’s windy.

Sunday, August 9th, has size—1.8m (6ft) SW in the morning with cross-off wind (combined energy 1271, strong), then 2.5m (8ft) S in the afternoon with strong offshore wind, but that’s a short 8-second period (combined energy 1047, strong). Marginal for paddle surfing—might be more for kite surfing.

Monday, August 10th, is where it’s at. Morning has 1.9m (6ft) SSW with offshore wind, but the afternoon is the gold: 2.0m (7ft) SSW, 12 seconds, light offshore, clean, combined energy 1902 (strong). Excellent for experienced surfers; intermediates can handle it, but beginners might find it a handful.

Tuesday, August 11th, has a big 2.3m (8ft) SSW (14 seconds, combined energy 2295—very strong) but the wind is cross and cross-on, making it choppy. Not worth it.

Wednesday and Thursday, August 12th and 13th, are a loss—onshore winds and poor conditions. Friday August 14th through Sunday August 16th stays onshore and messy, with only a brief 2.0m (7ft) E swell Sunday morning that’s onshore.

Now for the next good window: Monday morning, August 17th, goes glassy with 1.9m (6ft) E swell (11 seconds, combined energy 872—moderate). Clean and easy paddling. Tuesday, August 18th, is even better—glassy all day, 1.5m (5ft) E in the morning, dropping to 1.3m (4ft) in the afternoon, combined energy around 567 (moderate). This is your second-best option: fun, clean, and uncrowded if you’re early.

After that, it fades. Wednesday and Thursday, August 19th and 20th, get small and choppy. Then a long gap of poor conditions from Friday August 21st through the end of the outlook—onshore winds and short-period slop.

But the last entry, Saturday morning, August 22nd, has a surprise: 2.0m (7ft) S swell, 13-second period, light offshore, combined energy 1268 (strong), and clean. That’s a long-range standout—promising but not locked in. If it comes together, it’ll be excellent for experienced surfers.

So, bottom line: Monday afternoon, August 10th is the one—2.0m (7ft) SSW, light offshore, clean, strong energy. Monday and Tuesday morning, August 17th and 18th are your backup glassy days with smaller, fun E swell. There’s a long quiet patch in the second week, but that’s normal for this inconsistent break. Forecasts can change, so keep watching.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
