Surf Forecasts:
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, I've got to be straight with you – it's a flat spell for the Lake. There's not a single wave showing up in the data for the entire period. We're looking at a solid run of days, from the 18th of August right through to the 2nd of September, with absolutely nothing rideable. The combined energy of any swells directed here sits at a big fat zero (0) the whole time. It’s one of those blank runs that can happen around here, where the lake just goes to sleep. The wind does a bit of dancing around, sometimes offshore, sometimes onshore, but without any swell to work with, it doesn’t mean a thing for us surfers. Don't get too bummed out, though – forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this quiet for long.
So, for now, leave the boards in the shed and keep an eye on the sky. The lake will wake up again.
Rusty.

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