The Lowdown

Alright, let’s paddle out and see what’s on the menu. Rusty here.

First up, we’re looking at a pretty lackluster stretch ahead. The immediate days offer small swell and marginal conditions, so don’t rush to wax up. The water’s sitting at a warm 80°F, which is pretty much spot-on for this time of year – no surprises there.

Wednesday the 29th shows a small 3ft south swell with a 14-second period at White Plains Beach. The morning has a light cross-on wind, not ideal, but the afternoon turns glassy. That glassy window is your best bet early on, even if the waves are tiny. The combined energy is a moderate 316, so it’s not packing much punch.

Thursday the 30th morning sees similar 3ft south swell, but a stronger cross-shore breeze messes it up. The afternoon? A 30 km/h cross-off wind nukes the quality. Not worth it.

Friday the 31st gets worse – the swell drops to 2ft, shifts southwest, and fresh breezes from the east make it choppy and poor. Skip it.

Now, here’s where things get a bit different. Saturday the 1st of August brings a pulse of 8ft to 8ft east swell, but the period is short – only 8 seconds. That’s a windswell, not a groundswell. The combined energy is strong at over 1130, meaning there’s a lot of water moving, but the short period means crumbly, less organized waves. It’s also blowing 25 mph cross-off, so it’ll be blown out and unruly. This is expert-only territory due to the size, and even then, the quality is poor. For most of us, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are similar: 6ft to 5ft east swell, still short period, still strong winds. Marginal at best.

From Tuesday the 4th onward, the swell drops back to tiny 1ft to 2ft south/southwest swells, with longer periods (13-18 seconds) but very low energy (often under 200). The winds finally ease, and you get some glassy mornings on the 4th and 5th, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. You’d be bobbing around on ankle-biters.

The Standout: Honestly, there’s no true standout here. The best combination of clean conditions and any wave size is Wednesday afternoon, July 29th – that 3ft south swell with glassy wind. It’s tiny, but it’s the cleanest you’ll get. For the rest, the bigger days are too windy and messy. If you’re desperate for waves, that Wednesday afternoon window is the one. But don’t expect much.

We’ve got a long gap of poor to marginal surf stretching from late July all the way through the second week. Hold tight.

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.
