The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
We’re starting off a bit slow, but there’s a solid run of surf coming. The first few days are a bit of a tease, but by Tuesday morning, things start to get interesting at Haumoana River Mouth. The water is sitting at 54°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a good steamer.
Monday morning, the 27th, we see a decent 4ft swell from the ESE with a period of 13 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the WSW. It’s clean, but not a standout yet. By Tuesday morning, the 28th, that swell builds to 5ft, still from the ESE, and the wind stays offshore from the SW. The energy is ramping up (787), and the conditions are looking very good. That’s the first real highlight.
The real standout, though, is shaping up for the 5th of August. Wednesday morning sees a 7ft ESE swell with a 12-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WSW – light at 6 mph. The energy is pumping (1180), and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. Then, Wednesday afternoon, it gets even better. The wind goes glassy, flat calm, and the swell is a solid 6ft from the ESE. That’s as good as it gets. This is a long-period groundswell, so it’ll have plenty of punch and shape, but watch for those longer lulls between sets. The paddle out should be a bit easier, though.
After that, the swell backs off slightly, but we’ve got clean conditions hanging around through the 7th of August with 4ft and 3ft swells, both with offshore or cross-off winds. The 4th of August sees a massive 13ft SE swell, but that’s way too big for this spot – only for the hardcore experts, and even then, it’s gonna be a beast.
There’s a bit of a dry spell from the 8th onward, with smaller, choppier stuff and onshore winds creeping in. The 10th of August morning has a small, clean 3ft swell, but it’s nothing special.
So, in short: Get on it Tuesday the 28th for a good clean session, but mark your calendar for the 5th of August – that Wednesday afternoon glass-off is the session to chase.
Rusty.
