The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what White Plains Beach has cookin’ over the next 16 days. Fair warning: it’s gonna be a lot of nothing before we get a brief taste of something decent.
Right out the gate, Sunday the 23rd of August is weak. You’ve got a 0.7m (2ft) SW swell with a 15-second period, but a fresh 35 km/h cross-off breeze keeps things clean, but marginal. Poor energy (combined swell energy of 597). Monday and Tuesday are more of the same – low energy, wind-affected slop.
Thursday morning the 27th finally shows a pulse: 1.2m (4ft) from the S, 17-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 938 – the only decent pulse of the first week. It’s clean with that cross-off wind, but still only marginal.
Then it’s back to the doldrums through the end of the month. Friday the 28th through Monday the 31st of August is just weak, with ENE winds howling around 30 km/h and small S swells.
Now, the jewel in the crown: Tuesday morning, 1st September. The wind drops to glass – only 5 km/h from the ESE, with a 0.9m (3ft) SSW groundswell. That period is a very long 18 seconds, and the combined energy sits at 657. Clean glass, long walls, and the reef will handle that period just fine. That’s the session to target. The afternoon changes with a light cross-on, so it’s all about the morning.
After that, we get a little bump on Friday the 4th with 1.8m (6ft) from the E, but with a short 8-second period and strong cross-off wind, it’s just a mushy mess with moderate energy (722). Saturday the 5th holds 1.4m (5ft) from the E with a moderate cross-off – still not great.
The last few days, September 6th and 7th, bring onshore winds and a risk of thunderstorms. Not your friend.
If you’re looking for that one golden window, it’s Tuesday morning, 1st September. Glassy, solid groundswell, and real period. That’s the wave you’re looking for. The rest of the forecast is mostly just background noise.

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.

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.
