Righto, grab a coffee and settle in. Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s cookin’ at Ohara. Straight up, the next week and a half is a mixed bag, and you’ll need to pick your moments. The pattern starts with some small, average waves and a lot of cross-off wind that keeps things clean, but the swell is tiny and short-period, more of a fun-size board day than anything serious. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
The first standouts don’t show until Saturday July 11th. That’s when a decent groundswell pushes in – 7ft out of the SSW with a 16-second period. It’s got real energy behind it (2314 combined energy). Pair that with a light ESE cross-off breeze and you’ve got clean conditions. That Saturday afternoon window is the one. Sunday the 12th is also a cracker: still a solid 5ft from the SSW (1299 combined energy), silky morning with almost no wind, glassy as you’d like. It’s a bit of a wait, but that weekend is the best on offer for experienced surfers.
Keep in mind, Ohara is an inconsistent spot that doesn’t always fire, so when this long-period groundswell lines up, it’s a treat. The wave direction (SSW) isn’t bang on the optimum SE direction listed, but the quality of the swell and the clean wind makes up for it. Crowds can show up sometimes, so don’t expect a solo session. After that high point, we drop into smaller, average conditions from the 14th onwards – waist-high stuff with weaker energy, still clean in the mornings but nothing to write home about. The last few days bump up a touch on the 17th but the swell is messy and short-period, so it’s more of a longboard cruise.
All in all, that Saturday 11th afternoon and Sunday 12th morning are your standout sessions. Worth the wait.
Rusty.

Information about the Ohara Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ohara provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ohara can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ohara 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 (Ohara) 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 Ohara 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.
