The Lowdown
Alright, let's keep it real, because the surf report isn't much better in feet and miles per hour.
We are looking at a stretch of poor, small surf that's going to last a good while. The water is 62°F, which is about normal for the season, so a 4/3 suit is the move.
Starting today, the 8th, it's a lumpy, cross-onshore mess with waves around 6 feet [1.8m] but disorganized and full of wind chop. The ocean has a moderate amount of energy, around 572 units, but it's not doing us any favors. That trend of onshore wind and poor quality continues through the 10th, when the swell bumps up to 8 feet [2.3m] but gets smashed by strong onshore winds and rain. You won't want any part of that.
The weekend doesn't bring any relief. Saturday is another strong-wind, messy day with 7 feet [2.1m] of slop. By Sunday, the wind eases, but the swell drops off to less than 4 feet [1.2m] and is still cross-onshore.
The first half of next week is small and weak, with wave energy dropping to almost nothing by the 14th and 15th. The only chance for a clean wave is on the morning of Thursday the 17th, when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only about 1 feet [0.4m]. You'd need a longboard and some serious patience for that one.
By the 18th, we are talking ankle-biters. The period is long, but there's no size to it, so it will just close out. This flat spell continues right through the 23rd, with the most promising conditions looking like the 22nd, where you might see a clean 2-foot [0.5m] wave with an offshore wind. But that's about it.
There is no standout swell in this entire forecast for Whitesand Bay. It's a long stretch of nothing, so maybe it's time to work on your pop-up or check the forecast for next month. The surf will come back, it always does, but it's not this week or the next.
