The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got cooking for White Plains Beach over the next couple of weeks. We're stuck in a bit of a lull for the most part, with the odd glimmer of hope right at the very end of the run.

The water temperature is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th of September are pretty weak. Friday has some long-period groundswell, with that 16-second period, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the SW. It's clean enough with a cross-off breeze, but the wave energy is weak (403 and 303). Saturday afternoon is the pick of this early period – the wind goes glassy and we've got a clean 2ft SW groundswell. It's small, but that glassy surface will make it look pretty for a longboard.

We then hit a long, flat spell. From Sunday the 13th right through to Thursday the 24th of September, the surf is either tiny, choppy, or just plain poor. There's a bit of a bump on Tuesday the 15th with swell hitting 3ft, but the wind is up and creating a cross-chop, ruining any potential. The combined energy climbs into the moderate range (598), but it's just not clean. Later in that week, the wind gets really strong, and while the swell stays around 3ft, the conditions are just too messy for a good paddle. The beachbreak is going to be all over the place. Honestly, if you're looking for a wave during this stretch, you might be better off with a kite than a surfboard.

Now, the real standout comes in the second week. Friday the 25th of September is the one to circle on the calendar. We've got a 3ft SW groundswell with that nice 16-second period, but the wind is looking promising – a light cross-off breeze. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions" for both the morning and afternoon. The wave energy is still solidly moderate (680 and 662), and with that offshore flow, White Plains could be offering up some clean, lined-up waves. It's still a small swell, but if you've got a log or a fish, this is the best session on offer by a long shot.

Saturday the 26th of September follows up nicely. The swell drops a touch to 3ft from the SSW, but the wind is forecast to go glassy in the morning. That is a major positive. If that holds, it'll be a stunning morning for a smooth, clean surf. It won't have the energy of the day before, but you can't beat a glassy ocean.

So, there you have it. A long, frustrating wait for a couple of days that look like they'll be worth the patience. Lock in the 25th and the 26th.

Rusty.

Information about the White Plains Beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for White Plains Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at White Plains Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our White Plains Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (White Plains Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
