The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Tiki has in store for us. It’s a bit of a wait, but there’s some light at the end of the tunnel.
The opening stretch is a real write-off. From Wednesday the 12th right through to Saturday the 16th, conditions are messy. Cross-onshore winds and choppy seas are the name of the game, with swell energy sitting in a moderate range. You’re better off doing something else. There’s a brief moment of glass on Sunday the 16th morning, with a clean 4ft easterly swell, but the energy is weak and the period is short. It’s a tease, not a real session.
The saving grace comes on Sunday the 23rd of August. The morning is looking clean with light offshore winds and a solid 7ft southerly swell. The period is a nice 11 seconds, pumping in a lot of energy. That’s expert territory, no doubt about it, but for those with the skill, Tiki (Tiki) will be firing. The water is about 53°F, which is normal for this time of year. The swell direction (S) is a good match for the spot’s optimum (S), so expect some proper lines. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.
Before that, on Tuesday the 19th, there’s a bit of a cleaner window with a cross-offshore wind and a 8ft easterly swell, but the period is a short 7 seconds, making it a bit lumpy and less appealing than the 23rd. The 23rd is the clear standout.
The very end of the outlook, on Wednesday the 26th, shows another glassy morning with a 4ft SSE swell, but the energy is low and it’s a long way off. It’s a promising hint, but nothing to lock in.
So, the verdict: A long, frustrating gap until Sunday the 23rd. That’s your day. Everything else is a pass.
Rusty.

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.
