The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s get real about this forecast. The next couple of weeks look pretty flat and messy for Whitesand Bay. The first time you’ll see anything worth even a quick paddle is on Sunday the 9th of August, so that’s a solid week-plus of nothing to start.
Whitesand Bay is your only spot. It’s a beginner-friendly beach break, best with a WSW swell. Water temp is about 62°F, totally normal for the season.
From Friday the 31st of July all the way through Saturday the 8th of August, it’s a total write-off. Tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, with short periods around 5 to 9 seconds. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is weak – often below 30. Just leave the board at home.
Then on Sunday the 9th, we finally get a clean morning. A 2ft swell from the SW, 9-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the SE. Energy is modest at 84. It’s described as surfable but ordinary. That’s your best window, for what it’s worth.
The rest of the week is back to small, weak, or choppy. Friday the 14th of August bumps up to about 3ft, but it’s short-period, cross-onshore, and messy. Not worth the drive.
So the only real stand-out is that Sunday the 9th morning session. Clean, waist-high, with a light offshore breeze. It’s not pumping, but it’s the only time you’re not fighting junk.

A general guide to surfing at Whitesand Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
