The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it. We're looking at White Plains Beach, and it's a slow burn to start.
The forecast starts on Thursday, July 30, but it's a no-go. We've got a tiny 3 ft swell from the south with a 14-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 441, but a fresh cross-off breeze from the ENE at 19 mph is just ruining it. It's a marginal call, and I wouldn't bother.
Moving into Friday, July 31, the morning has a 2 ft swell from the southwest with a long 16-second period, upping the energy to 794, but the wind is still strong at 22 mph. The afternoon throws a 6 ft swell from the east with a short, weak 8-second period and a strong 25 mph wind. The energy is a hefty 948, but it's not clean. This is more of a kite day than a paddle day.
The weekend of August 1 and 2 is where it gets big. Saturday morning sees an 8 ft swell from the east, again with a short 8-second period. The energy is massive at 1253, and with a strong 28 mph cross-off wind, this is for experts only. The waves will be big and lumpy. Sunday calms to a 2 ft easterly swell, but the wind is still fresh.
The real gems, the ones to save your energy for, are in the second week. Monday, August 10, is a game-changer. The afternoon turns glassy. We've got a 3 ft swell from the south-southwest with a 16-second period, so the energy is strong at 714, and the wind is dead calm. That's a recipe for perfection.
Tuesday, August 11, is even better. The morning brings a 3 ft swell from the south with a 15-second period, energy at 662, and glassy conditions. The afternoon holds a 3 ft swell from the south-southwest with a 14-second period at 571 energy, also glassy. This is a full day of clean, long-period groundswell. For a reef break like White Plains, that's the dream. The water temp is 80°F, which is about average for the time of year, so the water is warm and comfortable.
The water temperature anomaly is only 0.7°F, so nothing unusual. The crowds can be a factor here, it's often packed, but for these two days, it might be worth dealing with the lineup.
The rest of the week after that is a mix of small, weak swells and cross-shore breezes, nothing to get excited about. The long-range stuff is promising but less certain. Your best bet is to aim for Monday, August 10, and Tuesday, August 11.
Rusty.

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.

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.
