The Lowdown
What’s up, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about White Plains Beach and what’s coming down the pipe for the next sixteen days.
The water is 81°F, right where you’d expect it for early August, so no need for any more than boardshorts. But honestly, the start of this forecast is a bit of a bummer. We’ve got a lot of small, weak swell and a persistent cross-off breeze. The first real mention of anything is Sunday the 2nd morning with a 6ft east swell at 8 seconds, but the wind is honking at 35 km/h, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. Monday the 3rd is smaller at 4ft, and nothing improves. We then slide into a proper lull with waist-high dribble and weak energy readings, nothing of substance through the first week.
We get a slight bump in overall energy around Saturday the 8th, but the wave heights stay under 2ft. It’s just not enough. A real gap in quality surf runs right through to mid-month.
The first sign of hope comes on Sunday the 16th morning with a 6ft east swell at 8 seconds, and the combined energy is strong. The wind is still in the mix, but it’s getting better. The standout, the one you want to wait for, is Monday the 17th. The morning delivers a solid 8ft east swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 1563 – that’s serious power. The wind drops to a light 15 km/h cross-off, which should keep the surface clean enough. This is for experts only; at over 8 feet, this is a proper big-wave session. If you’re not locked in, stay on the beach. The afternoon holds at 7ft, still with light winds.
White Plains (White Plains Beach) is a consistent, exposed reef break that prefers south swells, so that easterly pulse isn’t its absolute favorite direction. But with that much energy, it’ll still get good. The crowds can be an issue, so expect company for this swell.
To call it plain: the first 15 days are mostly a washout. But for the big dogs out there, keep a close eye on Monday the 17th. It’s a promising long-range call but not locked in, so check back closer to the date.
Rusty out.
