Table - best surf conditions forecast for Whitesand Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple weeks. I gotta say, the next few days are a total bust. Tiny dribbles and trash wind. There’s a quiet spell until around Saturday the 11th, but even then it’s nothin’ to write home about.
The only break we’ve got is Whitesand Bay. Water temp is about 61°F, pretty much normal for this time of year.
Wednesday July 8th and Thursday July 9th – total washout. Swell under 2ft, a mix of light cross-onshore and cross-off winds. Energy is pitiful, under 20. No shape at all.
Friday July 10th – Still tiny. Morning shows about 1ft from the WSW at a short 9 seconds. Clean cross-off wind, but no push. Energy is a weak 39.
Saturday July 11th – A little more size, but not good. Morning swell hits 4ft from the N with a short 6 seconds. Energy climbs to 145, but that north wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off. Clean but bumpy and that short north swell is just ugly. Afternoon drops off.
Then a long dead spell from Sunday July 12th right through to about Tuesday July 21st. Days of flatness. Swell barely touches 1ft, energy in the teens or low twenties. You get some clean, offshore wind mid-week, but no swell to use it.
Thursday July 16th – A tiny 2ft from the SW, but only 7 seconds. Wind goes onshore from the W. Gross.
Monday July 21st – Still flat. A 0.3ft trickle from the SW with a 16-second period.
Now, Thursday July 23rd is the one day that’s got some punch, but it’s a mess. Morning swell hits 6ft from the SW, period 7 seconds, with a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore. Energy is 316 – that’s solid power. But that wind will tear it up. By afternoon, swell is 8ft, period 8 seconds, and wind screams at 25 mph from the WSW. Big, powerful, but choppy and messy. Experts only. For anyone else, this setup looks better for kite surfing than a paddle.
Bottom line: the next 16 days are mostly a waiting game around here. No real clean, good surf window. Stay patient, forecasts can change.
Rusty.
