The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Whitesand Bay.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, it's a pretty grim stretch. We’re looking at a long gap of poor conditions with basically no surf worth paddling out for. The first few days are dominated by weak, short-period swell and onshore winds that just chop everything up. The combined swell energy is barely a whisper, sitting in the 11 to 46 range, which is about as weak as it gets.
The first real glimmer of potential doesn't show up until Monday, August 3rd. There's a noticeable jump in energy, with a combined swell energy of 113 (moderate wave energy) for the morning. The swell comes up to 3 ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds, so it’s got a bit more shape than the junk before it. Winds are light and cross-offshore from the SSE, which means the faces should be pretty clean. The water temperature is 62°F, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the most surfable we’ll see for a while. The afternoon turns a bit messy as the wind swings cross-on, so aim for the early session.
After that, things get messy again. The swell picks up to 5 ft on Tuesday, August 4th, but it's short-period (7-8 seconds) and the wind is cross-on, making it choppy and ugly. The combined energy hits 292 to 309 (moderate wave energy), but the quality is poor. That’s more of a mess than a wave.
The rest of the forecast into the second week is a mix of small, weak swells and onshore winds. There’s a brief moment of glassy conditions on Saturday, August 8th, with a 3 ft swell from the NNW, but it’s only 5 seconds period, so it’ll be weak and fat. The energy is only 60. It’s not really worth getting excited about.
The best bet for the whole 16-day window is the Monday morning, August 3rd session at Whitesand Bay. It’s the only day where the swell period, wind direction, and moderate energy come together. Even then, keep your expectations in check—it’s surfable, but nothing special.
Rusty.
