The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Look, I'm not gonna sugar-coat it – this stretch at Pic Kipu is a tough one. The whole 16-day outlook is a write-off for any decent surf. We start with a blank run right from today, the 20th of July, and it never really gets going. There's a long gap of absolutely nothing worth paddling for. The first recommendation doesn't even pop up, and the pattern just keeps repeating.
From the get-go, Monday morning the 20th has a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE with a horrible 4-second period, which is just wind chop. The energy is weak (49) and the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, making it lumpy. Afternoon drops to 0.7ft. This flat, poor-quality pattern drags on for days. We see a bit of a pulse on the 29th of July, with a 2ft swell from the WNW, but the period is 11 seconds, which is something. The combined energy creeps up to a moderate 123 on the afternoon of the 29th, and the wind goes light and cross-off. That's clean, but it's still just 2ft of swell. It's not enough to get excited about. For a reef break that's described as "inconsistent" and "sheltered", this is a normal quiet spell. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Every single day is marked as "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero. The swell is tiny, the periods are short, and the wind is often a problem. There's really nothing to recommend. If you're desperate, the best chance for a clean-looking wave with a bit of period would be the afternoon of the 29th, but even then, you're looking at a knee-high dribble. It's just not worth the effort.

A general guide to surfing at Pic Kipu can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Pic Kipu 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.
