Alright, let’s take the same story in feet and miles per hour, fellas.
So, Te Ikaamaru Bay is lookin’ pretty flat for a stretch. The first real chance of a wave comes on Tuesday, July 14th. The wind’s pumpin’ from the NNW at 22 mph, but it’s blowin’ straight offshore, so the waves will be clean. We’re talkin’ a 5 ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 5 seconds. Combined energy is moderate at 116. That offshore wind is a huge plus, but this is a punchy, dumpy wave – expert territory only. By the afternoon, the swell hits 6 ft and the wind swings cross-onshore, turnin’ it into a total mess.
Now, Wednesday morning, July 15th, could be a sneaky little session. The wind drops to just 3 mph from the NW, still offshore, with a 2 ft NW swell. The period is short at 5 seconds, but with glassy conditions, a beginner could snag a few tiny ones. Combined energy is weak at 42.
From July 16th through the 20th, it’s all knee-high dribble. A few glassy mornings, like July 20th with a 4 ft NNW swell, but the period is only 5 seconds, so it’s weak and soft. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 56°F on the first record.
There’s no standout session here. An expert might get a few on Tuesday, July 14th morning, but the swell direction is off for this break. It needs NW to really work. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can turn, but this run looks pretty quiet.
