Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tiki over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles.
First up, Tiki. The next few days are a write-off, to be honest. We’ve got lumpy cross-shore winds and messy, choppy surf. The swell energy is weak to moderate, reading around 432 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on Friday, but the wind is just trashing it. The water temp is 11° – nothing unusual for this time of year.
The first real chance comes Sunday morning, August 16th. The wind turns light offshore from the NNW, cleaning everything up. The swell is a modest 4ft from the east, with a period around 9 seconds, and the combined energy is 279. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and surfable. That’s the best in the first week, but don’t expect a classic.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions. Monday through Wednesday of the following week are all onshore and cross-onshore winds, with swell heights between 2ft and 7ft, but the wind messes it up. The energy picks up a bit on the 19th (398), but it’s still lumpy.
Now, for the real standout: Monday, August 24th. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the south, with a long 12-second period – that’s real groundswell. The wind is light cross-offshore from the west, and the combined energy is 959. This is the session to circle on the calendar. The wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions,” and I’m with it. Tiki is a point break, so that long-period swell will wrap in with clean lines. Just know it can get crowded sometimes, so beat the pack.
The rest of the second week is patchy. Thursday morning the 27th has light cross-offshore wind and a 4ft east swell, but it’s inconsistent. Friday the 28th morning also looks clean but small. The energy drops off after that, and the winds turn messy again.
So, to sum it up: Sunday the 16th is a quick clean option, but Monday the 24th is the real one to aim for.

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.
