The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Look, I’ll be honest with you – this is a tough stretch for Whitesand Bay. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got nothing but poor surf conditions the whole way through, so don’t be fooled by any flickers of hope. The first recommendation doesn’t even come up, because there’s nothing worth paddling out for right from the start. We’re looking at a long, blank run of just over two weeks with no real surf on offer.
The pattern is simple: tiny, weak swell and almost always the wrong wind. The little bumps of energy we do see are pathetic. The biggest combined energy we get is 240 on Sunday the 26th of July, with a 5 ft swell from the west, but that’s all onshore wind and a 7-second period – just a messy, lumpy, cross-onshore chop. Not surfable. That’s the best of a bad bunch, and it’s still terrible.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
If you’re a kite surfer, that Sunday the 26th might look a bit more interesting with that onshore breeze and some bumpy water, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard no.
The only time we get offshore wind is on Thursday the 30th of July, but the swell is a measly 0.3 ft with a 10-second period – barely a ripple. Clean, sure, but there’s nothing to ride.
So, bottom line: save your energy. This region is a dead zone for the next 16 days. It’s a rare blank run, but it happens here. Forecasts can change, but for now, I wouldn’t bother.
Rusty.
