Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown. Let's call it like it is: White Plains Beach is in a real dry spell for the next week and a half. The first seven days, from July 5th through the 11th, are a total washout. Tiny surf, lousy conditions. The water's sitting at about 80°, which is a touch warmer than usual – nothing special. Honestly, don't even bother checking the buoys.
The first hint of anything comes on Sunday, July 12th. We've got swell bumpin' up to about 3ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The combined energy sits at 764 (moderate). But that steady ENE cross-off wind at 15 mph keeps things clean but still only marginal. It's surfable, but it's not gonna get you stoked. This same kind of marginal stuff lingers through the 14th.
Now, I gotta call out the one day that might get your attention. Friday, July 17th. We finally see a real pulse. The swell jumps to 6ft from the East, dropping to 6ft in the afternoon. That's a big jump! Combined energy is 747-717 (moderate to strong). But here's the kicker: the period is only 8 seconds. That's wind swell, short and fat. At 6ft, that's expert territory, too big for beginners. The wind is cross-off from the ENE at 19-22 mph, so the surface will be clean, but the waves themselves are gonna be crumbly and sectiony because of the short period. Not the cleanest shape.
After that, it drops off real quick, back to small stuff by the 19th. For the most part, this forecast looks more like a kite-surfers' playground than a surfers' paradise, with that constant cross-off wind and small to moderate, short-period swell. That Friday the 17th spike is the only window, and it's a tricky one for experts only.
Rusty, signing off.
