The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Whitesand Bay.
To be honest, it’s a pretty grim outlook. The entire 16-day window is a struggle, with a massive gap of no real surfable waves right from the start. We don’t get a proper opportunity until the very end – Sunday, 16 August afternoon. That’s a long, dry spell.
The water temp is about normal for the time of year at 62°F.
For the first two weeks, it’s all tiny, weak swell and messy winds. There’s a little spike in energy around the 5th of August, with combined swell energy hitting 251 (moderate), but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 22 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. The swell period is super short, under 8 seconds, so there’s no real power.
The only real standout – and I’m being generous – is the afternoon of Sunday, 16 August. The swell hits 5 ft from the WSW, with a combined energy of 225 (moderate), and the wind switches offshore from the ENE at 9 mph. That’s clean. The period is still short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and crumbly, but it’s the only time the stars align. It’s a good size for beginners. The rest of the time? It’s a waiting game. It doesn’t usually stay this flat for long, and forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
