Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you in feet and degrees.
For Te Ikaamaru Bay, it’s a lean 16 days ahead with mostly flat or messy surf. Water’s about 56°F, normal for this time of year.
From the 10th of July onward, it’s tiny and weak. The 11th and 12th are flat. On the 13th we see a 4ft NW swell with a short 5-second period, but cross-onshore wind ruins it. The 14th brings 5ft with strong onshore NNW winds at 25 mph – messy and blown out. Combined energy hits 280, but it’s not clean.
The 15th holds 6ft, still onshore winds. Through the 16th to the 23rd it’s mostly flat with gale-force winds at times. A glassy morning on the 21st but no waves.
The real standout is Thursday 24th of July: a 7ft NNW swell, 7-second period, and strong energy of 395. But with cross-onshore winds at 12 mph, it’s choppy. That size is expert-only, and the wind kills the quality. After that, it drops back to tiny surf on the 25th.
So the pick of a poor bunch is the 24th morning if you’re an expert and can handle messy conditions. Otherwise, this is a classic quiet spell for the area.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Te Ikaamaru Bay 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).
