Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Whitesand Bay has in store for the next couple of weeks. Straight off the bat, I gotta be real with you: it's looking pretty flat and quiet for a long stretch. The water temp is sitting at 60.6°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. But with that tiny, weak energy, there's nothing worth paddling out for right now.
From Tuesday the 7th right through, we’re stuck with tiny dribbles. Swell heights barely tickle 1ft from the west, with energy readings all below 60 (weak). The wind's all over the place, sometimes clean but sometimes choppy. The waves just aren't forming up. This flat spell runs hard until about the middle of the second week.
There’s a slight flicker of life on Friday the 10th morning – a bit more size at 1.3ft from the WSW, combined energy of 38 (still weak). Wind’s clean off the NNE, so the surface might look nice, but you’d be hunting for a rideable lump. After that, it drops back to nothing.
You then get a couple of days of really long-period groundswell energy pushing in from the SW starting Sunday the 12th, but the wave heights are pitiful – 0.3ft. That’s not surf, that’s just water moving. The wind is clean and offshore at times, but with no wave to work with, it’s a no-go.
The one tiny glimmer pops up on Tuesday the 21st afternoon. The swell bumps up to 2.3ft from the SW, energy climbs to 34. Still not much, but the period is short at 5 seconds, so it will be weak and crumbly. Plus the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. Not worth rushing for.
Overall, this is a blank run. Whitesand Bay is a fairly consistent spot, but the forecasts show nothing but poor surf conditions for almost two full weeks. Sometimes it just goes flat. Keep the wax in the car, check back later – forecasts can change.

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