The Lowdown
Alright friends, it's Rusty here. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks. It starts off pretty quiet, with small surf and not much energy in the water for the first few days. The water temp feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice. But Thursday and Friday don't have much going on – just ankle-biters.
Friday though, the swell jumps to around 10ft, but it's a huge mess with a strong onshore wind. The energy is strong, but it's all chop and no shape. Forget about it. The weekend stays the same, with the wind messing up the cross-shore currents. We're looking at a few waves on Sunday around 6ft, but it's not clean.
Early next week is more of the same. A little more size on Monday, around 6-7ft with a better period, but it's still onshore. It’s just a grind of average, junky waves for about five days straight. The water cools down a touch, but no big deal.
The 16th and 17th, the conditions clean up a bit with a cross-off wind, and we get some waves in the 5ft range from the east. It's all a bit ordinary though, with a shorter period.
Now for the big one. On the morning of August 18th, everything lines up. The swell jumps to over 11ft, a solid SSW groundswell with a 10-second period. The energy is insane, over 2500! And the wind is light offshore, so it will be glassy and clean. This one is just for the experts, that size is way over 8ft. This is the standout of the whole window. The afternoon looks okay but the wind turns a little onshore, so you want to be out there early.
After that, things back off, but it stays cleaner. The 20th has light winds and a small 2ft groundswell with a long 13-second period. It'll be a fun, clean little session for the logs, but that Tuesday the 18th is the one you should be planning for. Until next time, this is Rusty, signing off.

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