Alright crew, Rusty here. Lookin’ at Te Ikaamaru Bay and I gotta lay it out straight – the next 16 days are a total bust for surf. No decent waves in sight. This spot is usually fairly consistent, but right now we’re stuck in a long flat spell with nothin’ worth paddlin’ for.
Startin’ Monday July 6th, it’s cross-off gales and light rain, swell barely a ripple at 0.3 ft, period long but no energy – combined energy just 28 (weak). Water temp’s 56°, about average for this time of year. Tuesday the 7th has a tiny bump to 1 ft from the NNW with offshore wind, but still pathetic – it’s just wind slop. Wednesday the 8th gets worse, heavy rain and near gale-force winds. Thursday the 9th is severe gale, zero surf. Friday the 10th offers a weak 0.3 ft long-period NW swell but cross-off gales make it unrideable. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are flat and clean but no waves at all. Monday the 13th brings a slight cross-on breeze and a 0.3 ft N swell – hopeless. Tuesday the 14th has a bit more size, up to 2 ft from NNW, but cross-on and messy. Wednesday the 15th peaks at 3 ft from the north, but cross-on wind – though the afternoon shows a brief window with gentle offshore and 3 ft from NNW, the surf quality is still rated poor. Thursday the 16th has 2 ft from NNW with cross-off breeze, energy up to 83 (still weak) – might be clean but it’s too small to ride. Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th drop back to 0.3 ft NW groundswell. Sunday the 19th through Tuesday the 21st are flat again or tiny with cross-off/onshore winds. No standout, no recommendation – you’re better off doin’ somethin’ else. This kinda blank run is unusual for Te Ikaamaru Bay, but forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Te Ikaamaru Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Te Ikaamaru Bay 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.
