The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you: Whitesand Bay is looking like a total drought for the next 16 days. Every single entry in the book calls it poor surf – no recommendations, no scores worth mentioning. You’re looking at about two weeks of flatness before the first hint of something shows up on the afternoon of 28 July.
Best I can do is give you the pick of a bad lot. On the afternoon of Monday, 28 July, a 4-foot swell from the north-northwest hits with a short period of 5 seconds. The wind goes cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, and the combined energy is 95 (moderate). It’s small and gutless, but it’s the cleanest the whole run gets.
Then on Thursday, 30 July, the morning brings a 4-foot swell from the west with a 6-second period and combined energy of 126 (moderate). Problem is, that onshore wind will chop it up. The afternoon is similar – a 4-foot swell from the west-southwest, same short period, energy 112, and still onshore.
The water temp is 61°, right about average for the middle of summer. No crowds to worry about because nobody’s out.
This stretch is a long, quiet one. Could be kite-surfing conditions if the wind picks up right, but for a paddle board? Not much. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a waiting game.

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.
