Whispering Waves Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer at Whispering Waves over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we have a solid, long-period groundswell rolling in. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The week kicks off on Monday the 20th with a decent pulse. Monday morning sees 5ft of swell from the SE with a 12-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze will keep things clean. The combined energy is a strong 1209, so there's plenty of push. The swell direction isn't quite the optimum S, but it'll still be a fun session. Monday afternoon drops off a touch to 5ft, and the wind swings cross-offshore, so it's still rideable but less ideal.

Now, Tuesday the 21st morning is a real standout. The wind goes glassy, absolutely dead calm, and we've got 4ft of swell from the SE. It's a little smaller, but with that kind of glass and a 12-second period, the waves will be clean as a whistle. The energy is a moderate 787. This is the pick of the early week for a smooth, uncrowded session. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-shore breeze and a shift to a longer 15-second period swell from the SSW, which can make the waves a bit walls at a point break like this.

We hit a bit of a lull from Wednesday the 22nd through the weekend. Onshore winds and poor conditions take over, so for a few days, it's not looking worthwhile. Sunday the 27th is particularly poor with strong onshore winds and tiny, weak swell.

The surf fires back up on Monday the 28th. The morning brings 8ft of SSW swell, but with a fresh offshore breeze, it'll be clean. The energy is a strong 1429. This is solid, powerful stuff. The afternoon gets even bigger, hitting 12ft from the SSW, but also with an offshore breeze. That's expert territory, folks. The period is 11 seconds, so it's a shorter-interval windswell, making it punchy and a bit raw.

The standout for the whole run, however, lands on Friday the 24th of July. The morning session is a gem. We have 4ft of swell from the SSW, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. That's a very long-period groundswell, and it wraps perfectly into this point break. The energy is a whopping 2029, and it's paired with a gentle offshore breeze. This is where the long period excels. The waves will have serious shape and power, with long, clean lines. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon on the 24th does get bigger, up to 8ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore and chops it up.

Looking further ahead into the first week of August, the first of the month shows promise. Saturday the 1st of August afternoon has a 12ft SSW swell with a moderate offshore wind and the energy is a massive 2638. That's a big, clean, expert-only wave. The 10-second period keeps it a bit more manageable, but it's still a heavy day.

Overall, the best chances are Tuesday the 21st morning for a glassy, clean session, and Friday the 24th morning for the long-period groundswell perfection. The big stuff at the end of July and into August is for the experienced crew only.

Keep your eyes on the sky and your wax on.

Rusty.
