Imperial Version
Alright crew, Rusty here with the skinny on White Rocks. Gotta level with you – this 16-day outlook is a bit of a bummer. There’s a big ol’ gap of flatness that stretches through the first week and beyond.
The only real window is on Wednesday morning, July 8th. Tuesday afternoon the 7th is a write-off with a sloppy 1.0m WNW swell and choppy cross-onshore wind. Don’t bother.
But Wednesday morning the 8th gets a brief pass. It’s glassy calm with a light east wind and a tiny 0.7m swell from the WNW at 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly (78). You could sneak out on a longboard for some soft, weak little waves. It’s beginner-friendly. Water temp is around 56°, which is dead average for this time of year.
After that, it’s like someone turned off the tap. The rest of Wednesday and Thursday drops to 0.5m or less – pathetic. Friday the 10th sees a slight lift to 0.7m with an 11-second period, but it’s onshore and still no good. The second week into mid-July is flat, with swell barely reaching 1 ft and energy in the tank.
Around Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th, there’s a little bump from the NNW, but it’s getting blown to bits by 19-22 mph winds from the NW and WNW – cross-onshore and lumpy. That’s more kite-surfing weather. By Wednesday the 22nd of July, the wind hits 28 mph from the WNW with a 1.0m swell showing energy of (220), but it’s a complete mess.
So, the only half-decent moment is that glassy Wednesday morning the 8th. Otherwise, this is a classic flat spell for the area. Not much to do but wait.
Rusty.

Information about the White Rocks Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for White Rocks provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at White Rocks can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our White Rocks 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 Rocks) 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 Rocks 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.
