The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Whitesand Bay.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty grim picture. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The first real surfable day isn’t until Sunday the 26th of July, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. There’s over a week of flatness or close to it before we see any pulse.
The first half of the window is full of small, short-period windswell or very long-period, weak energy. The water temp is sitting around 61°, which is average for this time of year, so that’s no excuse.
The only time the swell cracks 3 ft is around the 26th and 27th of July. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, so the surface will be clean, but the energy is weak. The combined energy tops out at 224 (moderate) on Monday the 27th, with a 4 ft swell from the WSW. The period is a short 9 seconds, so it’ll be a bit wobbly, but it’s the best we’re going to get. The morning of the 27th has poor surf conditions, but the afternoon is rated as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s not a standout, it’s just the only option.
The rest of the time is all under 3 ft, with periods all over the place, from 4 seconds up to 18 seconds, but the energy is laughable. The 18 and 16 second periods are groundswell, but with only 0.7 ft to 1 ft of height, it’s a non-event. The wind is mostly cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s simply no power.
For a beginner spot like Whitesand Bay, the swell never gets above 4 ft, so it’s never too big, but it’s never really good either. The crowds are marked as "sometimes," so you might have a few others out, but given the lack of quality, I wouldn’t expect a pack.
The best bet is the afternoon of Monday the 27th of July. It’s a 4 ft WSW swell with a 9-second period and light cross-off wind. The energy is moderate (219), and the conditions are ordinary but surfable. It’s the only real window of opportunity.
It’s a tough outlook. The waves are just too small and weak for weeks. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t make any plans.
Rusty.
