Whispering Waves Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been looking at the charts for the next sixteen days. The focus is squarely on Whispering Waves, a point break that’s exposed to the south. There’s a bit of a gap before things get good, but when it fires, it’ll be a beauty.

The first few days are pretty ordinary. Tuesday the 1st has some small, weak swell with a combined energy of only 123, and the conditions are just meh. Wednesday morning the 2nd is where it starts to get interesting – a solid 6ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 14 seconds, and a clean offshore wind. The wave energy is pumping at 1175, and this is the standout of the whole period. The water temperature is about average for this time of year. Whispering Waves is inconsistent, so when it does come in like this, it’s worth making the call. That morning is the pick for experienced surfers. Wednesday afternoon is still okay but the wind switches cross-shore, making it a bit messy.

Thursday the 3rd offers glassy conditions in the morning with a 4ft SSW swell, but it’s smaller and the energy’s moderate at 347. It’s good for a clean session, but not a highlight. Friday the 4th sees a big jump in size – 15ft from the SSE, but with a short period of 10 seconds and strong cross-offshore winds. The combined energy is huge at 3870, but the swell is too big and messy for most, and it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-friendly one. Saturday the 5th is a write-off with choppy, onshore winds and poor surf.

There’s a long gap in quality from the 5th through to the 11th, with a few days of no good surf. The next flicker of life comes on Sunday the 6th, with a 6ft SSW swell but a very long 19-second period, bringing strong energy at 2511. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but a long-period swell like that could break a bit straight at the beach. On a point like Whispering Waves, it might actually set up nicely for the more experienced crew. Monday the 7th through to the 11th is mostly flat or blown out, with tiny waves and poor conditions.

The next chance comes Saturday the 12th, with a 4ft SSW swell and a short 8-second period, but the wind is offshore and clean. The energy is moderate at 230, so it’s a fun little session but nothing special. After that, the 13th to the 16th slips back into rubbish with onshore winds and tiny surf.

So, the standout here is Wednesday morning the 2nd at Whispering Waves – 6ft from the SSW, clean offshore wind, and solid energy. It’s a rare treat for a spot that doesn’t always deliver. The rest of the window is a mix of small, messy, or just plain poor conditions, with big gaps in between. Keep your eyes on that Wednesday morning.

Rusty.
