The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Lohi's.
Right out of the gate, we've got a bit of a slow start. For Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th, the swell is small and the conditions are pretty average. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, which is okay, but the wave energy is just not there to get excited about. We’re looking at a combined swell energy of only 352 to 416, which is weak. It's really not worth paddling out for.
Things start to build over the weekend. Sunday the 30th sees the swell climbing with a combined energy of 1801, which is strong. The swell is 5ft from the SSW with a very long period of 19 seconds. With the wind holding cross-offshore, it’s going to be clean, but this is only for experienced surfers. Monday the 31st is the standout of the first week. The morning session is where it’s at: a solid 7ft of SSW groundswell with a period of 16 seconds and a gentle cross-off breeze. The energy is pumping at 2226. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, but it's going to be a big, powerful wave. Remember, at 7ft this is not for beginners.
After that peak, it eases but stays fun. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd of September still have decent SSW swell around 4ft to 5ft, and light cross-off winds. The wave energy drops a bit but is still moderate. Thursday the 3rd through to Sunday the 6th is a nice run of clean, cross-off conditions with a smaller, more manageable S/SSE swell of 5ft to 6ft. The period drops to around 11 seconds, which is still good. The energy is moderate, usually in the 400-800 range. This is the sweet spot for the average surfer.
By Monday the 7th, the swell is dropping but the conditions hit a high point. We get a glassy morning and a glassy afternoon on the 7th, with a small 4ft SSE swell. This is as clean as it gets. The following days drop off further in size, but the quality holds until about Thursday the 10th. The week after that, from Friday the 11th of September onward, the swell mixes up but stays inconsistent and marginal in quality, with moderate to strong energy (1500+) but a cross-off wind that isn't quite as light. It's worth checking the forecasts closer to the time.
So, the best call is Monday morning, the 31st of August. Big 7ft SSW groundswell, clean, and strong energy at 2226. It's for the experienced crew only. For the rest of us, the run from Thursday the 3rd to Monday the 7th offers the best combo of size and quality, especially with those glassy conditions on the 7th. Lohi's is a reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so don't expect it to be working all the time. Also, it can get a crowd sometimes, so be ready for that.
Rusty.

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.
