Makorori Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s see what’s on offer for Makorori Point over the next couple of weeks. This is a solid, exposed point break meant for advanced surfers, and it’s very consistent. The optimum swell direction is SSE, so when the swell lines up right, this place can fire. It can get crowded though, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but the first real call is on Tuesday morning, July 7th. It’s not huge, with waves around 4ft from the east, but the wind is glassy. That means clean, smooth faces and a bit of fun to be had. The combined energy is moderate at 320. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

Wednesday morning, July 8th, sees a slight bump in size to 5ft from the ESE, and the wind is cross-offshore. The ocean is clean, and the energy is building a bit, up to 473. This is a solid, rippable morning.

Now, Friday July 10th through Saturday July 11th is a washout. A strong southerly wind kicks up, loading the swell to 10ft on Friday morning and 12ft on Saturday morning. The combined energy gets into the thousands—2180 and 4644 respectively—but it’s messy and cross-onshore. Not a paddle session; this is more for the kite crowd if anything.

Things clean up nicely for Sunday morning, July 12th. The swell drops to 5ft from the ESE, the wind swings light cross-offshore, and the ocean is clean. The energy is 616, a solid moderate push. That’s a standout window right there—good waves, good wind.

Monday July 13th is another tidy morning with 4ft from the ESE and light offshore wind from the NW. It’s clean, but a bit smaller. The energy drops to 336.

Tuesday July 14th and Wednesday July 15th are small and ordinary. The swell is under 3ft to 4ft, but the wind stays cross-offshore, keeping things clean even if the oomph is lacking.

Thursday July 16th afternoon is a real highlight. The swell sits at 4ft from the ESE, but it’s a longer period groundswell at 14 seconds. The wind goes offshore from the NNW, and the ocean is clean. The energy is 597. This is a top-notch session for the experienced crew at a point break like this—long lines, easy paddling, just quality.

Jumping ahead to Monday July 20th, we get another beauty. The early morning sees an 8ft swell from the SE with a 12-second period, and light cross-offshore wind from the WNW. The energy is 2427, strong, and it’s clean. This is an excellent session for experienced surfers. A bit smaller on Tuesday July 21st morning, at 5ft from the SE, but with light offshore wind from the NW, it’s still a ripper.

Overall, the best on offer are Sunday July 12th morning, Thursday July 16th afternoon, and Monday July 20th morning. Those are the ones to pencil in.
