Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the table.
Alright, so for Pic Kipu, a sheltered reef break that loves a west-southwest swell, we’ve got a long quiet stretch ahead. There’s nothing worthwhile for quite a while. The water is sitting around 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s something.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a flat spell. We don’t get anything that qualifies as a real standout. But hold on, towards the end of the forecast period, things start to perk up.
On the 17th of July, Friday morning, we start seeing some life. A clean 4 ft from the WNW with a 10-second interval, 19 mph cross-offshore wind, and the combined swell energy is 258 (moderate). That’s surfable, but the conditions are still pretty ordinary. The afternoon looks similar, with a 4 ft swell and offshore wind. This isn't a gem, but it’s the best we see. The 18th of July, Saturday morning, picks up a little more, with 4 ft WNW swell and light 3 mph winds, giving clean lines, but the period drops to 8 seconds. That’s a bit less refined. The afternoon shows 5 ft WNW swell with 9 mph offshore winds and 284 energy. That’s the best energy in the whole outlook. Still, it’s nothing to scream about.
Because this break is inconsistent, it’s not surprising to see this gap. And when it fires, there’s a reef bottom to consider. The 18th afternoon offers the best chance for a clean wave. The swell is not too big for an intermediate.
Overall, if you’re desperate, the 17th and 18th of July mornings and afternoons are your windows. Nothing else in the 16 days is worth paddling out for.
Rusty.

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