The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for Whitesand Bay. The whole 16-day window is looking grim, with no decent surf on offer. The finder is empty of recommendations, and the guidance backs that up: it’s a beginner-friendly, fairly exposed beach that’s just not lining up with the conditions.
The first few days are a write-off. Monday the 7th kicks off with a solid 6 ft swell from the WSW, but the combined energy is a weak 1089, and it’s getting hammered by a 15 mph onshore wind. That’s just messy. Tuesday isn’t any better, with a 6 ft swell and a 22 mph cross-onshore breeze that’ll chop it to bits. The whole first week is a washout – we’re talking fresh winds, lumpy seas, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” There’s a brief moment on Friday the 11th afternoon where the wind goes cross-offshore and the surf cleans up to 4 ft, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and the energy is low at 179. It’s a tiny, weak window that’s hardly worth paddling for.
The second week doesn’t get any better. The swell drops off a cliff, with heights under 3 ft for most of it, and the winds are either howling or onshore. By the weekend of the 19th and 20th, we’re seeing 3 ft to 4 ft swell from the north, but with fresh cross-onshore winds, it’s still lumpy. The final days from the 21st onward are a joke – swell dips to 0.3 ft, with a 13-second period from the SW that’s promising in theory, but the wind is a strong 28 mph cross-onshore, blowing it out completely. The combined energy is down in the single digits (10).
Look, there are no standouts here. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is an unusually long, blank run. The water temp is 62°, which is about average for the time of year, but that’s cold comfort. The only thing worth noting is that the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the strong, consistent winds. Hang tight, check back in a few days – forecasts can change.
