The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into it. The forecast is a bit of a slow burn, but there's a real pulse of energy coming through. We're looking at a solid run of surfable conditions, but you've got to know where to be.
Kicking things off on Thursday, 3rd September, we’ve got a 5ft south swell rolling in at 11 seconds. The water temp is a balmy 85°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year, so pretty average. The combined energy is moderate (673). The wind is light and cross, so it's a little messy. This is a marginal call, but the swell is there.
The first real standout is the glassy morning on Sunday, 6th September. The swell drops to 4ft from the SSE, period at 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – that's a major positive. The combined energy is a bit weaker (258), but with clean, mirror-like conditions, this is the best bet for a fun, easy session. For a beginner-friendly reef break like Lohi's, that's perfect.
The real big news comes in the second week. Around Thursday, 10th September, the swell gets a serious kick from a very long period SSW groundswell. Thursday morning sees a 4ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and a combined energy of 1169 – that's strong wave energy. Friday, 11th September, afternoon looks even more powerful with a 3ft swell at a massive 20-second period and a combined energy of 1665. This is a very long period groundswell, which means it will have heaps of push and shape, but it might break a bit too straight at some beach breaks. At a reef like Lohi's, it could be proper. However, the wind ramps up to a fresh 15-18 mph, so it won't be glassy. This is a standout for the big, powerful, clean lines, but it's for more experienced surfers. The 4ft on Saturday, 12th September, morning with a 14-second period and 1123 energy is also a solid shout.
After that, the energy fades and the conditions get a bit choppy and messy from the 16th onwards, with poor surf quality and cross winds. The window closes out.
So, the best on offer: grab the glassy 4ft on Sunday, 6th September for a clean, mellow session. For the big wave enthusiasts, that Thursday, 10th to Saturday, 12th September window is the one to watch, but be ready for stronger winds and a powerful, long-period swell.

Information about the Lohi's Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lohi's provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lohi's can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lohi's surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lohi's) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Lohi's 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.
