Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tiki over the next 16 days.
Righto, let's talk Tiki. This is a tricky one. The 16-day window kicks off with a real dud on Sunday, July 12th, so we're looking at a bit of a wait. The first week is mostly a write-off for good waves, with a lot of weak, short-period swell and cross-offshore winds leaving the surf ordinary at best. The water temp is sitting at 52°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We get a little glimmer of hope on Monday, July 13th, with a glassy morning. The combined energy is moderate (229), but the swell is a small 3ft from the ESE with a short period of 7 seconds. It's clean, but not much push. This pattern of small, clean, but weak surf continues through Tuesday and Wednesday.
The real standout, and the one to look out for, is much further down the track. Head straight for Monday, July 27th. The morning brings a groundswell from the SSE at 3ft, but with a very long period of 13 seconds – that's the kind of energy that wraps around points and reefs beautifully. The combined energy is strong (379), and we've got light, cross-offshore winds. After a long stretch of mediocrity, this is the best on offer. Tuesday, July 21st gets a spike in size with a 7ft WSW swell, but the period is short at 6 seconds, and the cross-shore wind will make it messy. That one's more for the experts and likely a bit of a battle.
Overall, the first week is a blank. We're looking at a solid 10 days of mostly forgettable surf before that Monday, July 27th, window shows some real promise. For a point break like Tiki that loves a S swell direction, this SSE groundswell with a long period and light wind is a clear standout. It's a long way out, though, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

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.
