The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what’s coming for the next two weeks.
First up, things are nearly dead. The first time you could paddle out is Thursday afternoon, but it’s a small one: a 2ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period. The water’s warm at 81°, which is normal for this time of year. The cross-offshore breeze keeps it looking okay, but the energy is only moderate at 515. It’s a beginner-friendly reef, consistent, but I wouldn't get too worked up.
Friday and Saturday are more of the same — 2ft to 2ft swells. There’s a bright spot Saturday afternoon, though. Totally flat calm, glassy conditions on a 2ft SSW swell. That’s a perfect time for a longboard if you want to slide around without any hassle. The energy is weak (211), so don’t expect power, but the smooth surface will make up for it. That’s the top pick for the first week.
Swell bumps up a little around Monday the 14th, with 2ft to 3ft SW groundswell, but the wind turns fresh out of the ENE, cross-offshore. The increase in energy (up to 598 on Tuesday morning) is promising, but the period drops and there's a cross-chop, so it won't be super clean.
The real action happens in the second week. Starting Tuesday the 22nd, the swell goes east, and by Wednesday the 23rd, we’re looking at a solid 5ft E swell with a 12-second period. The combined energy is strong, over 1100. Winds are light and cross-shore at White Plains Beach (Oahu). This is the clear winner: size, power, and decent wind. It’s starting to get too big for beginners at 5ft, but anyone with experience will have a good day.
Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th still bring 3ft to 4ft SSW swell, with some decent energy, but the wind turns cross-onshore or onshore, which will mess up the face. A bit of a letdown after the day before.
To keep it simple: for a peaceful, glassy slide, aim for Saturday the 12th afternoon. For real waves with some push, lock in Wednesday the 23rd. The rest is a mixed bag of small and choppy.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for White Plains Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
