The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down this 16-day stretch for Whitesand Bay.
It’s a tough one, no two ways about it. There’s a big dry spell right off the bat. The first real chance of a wave doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 9th. So from Monday the 3rd all the way through Saturday the 8th, it’s basically flat, choppy, or blown to bits. The Wednesday the 5th throws up some size – 7ft from the WSW – but with a 25 mph onshore wind hammering it, that’s more of a kiteboarding day than a surf. Not for us.
That Sunday morning, the 9th, is your only real window. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the WSW, 7-second period, and the wind drops to glassy – a light SE breeze, dead calm. The combined energy is moderate. It’s not epic, but it’s surfable and clean. For a beginner-friendly spot, that’s the best you’re gonna get. The water is sitting at 62°F, about average for this time of year. After that, it goes tiny or onshore again.
There’s a little bump on Sunday, August 16th – 4ft from the N, but with a short 5-second period and onshore wind, it’s not clean. The energy is weak to moderate.
So here it is: one standout morning, and that’s Sunday the 9th. It’s glassy, it’s small, but it’s your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

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.
