The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breakin’ it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
The start is a bit slow, but there’s a solid window of fun surf mid-week, then we fade into a long, quiet run.
Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th are small – 3ft to 4ft – with a long period from the SSW and E. The wind is a cross-off from the ENE, so the surface is clean, but the energy is moderate (876 to 887). The waves will be fat and slow. Not worth the paddle.
The real standout is Tuesday the 28th. Morning sees a clean 6ft of east swell, 13-second period, and energy jumps to 1436. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the NE, keeping it glassy. By the afternoon, it’s pushing 7ft, energy hits 1857 – that’s got some serious grunt – but the wind picks up. This is the best day: head-high, clean, and punchy. Crowds are often a problem, so be there early.
Wednesday the 29th fades hard to 2ft – 3ft. Not worth it.
Thursday the 30th stays small, with a little chop.
Friday the 31st to Saturday the 1st of August sees a bump to 5ft – 7ft, but the period drops to a short, weak 8 seconds. The wind is a strong cross-off, but it’s messy, wind-driven junk. This is better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Then it’s a long dry spell. From Sunday the 2nd of August through Monday the 10th of August, the swell is tiny, mostly 1ft – 2ft, with long periods and no push. Energy drops to low numbers (51 to 394). The wind stays cross-off, but there’s no power. A blank run like this is normal for the area when the swell direction is off.
Water temp at the start is 80°, about average for the season.
So, bottom line: Tuesday the 28th is your day. Go get it. After that, it’s a long wait.
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.
