The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Tiki, a point break that’s exposed to south swells. The honest truth is, this is a quiet start and it’s gonna be a real slow burn for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a big gap of several days with nothing worth paddling out for right from the off.
The water temp is sitting at about 54°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
First signs of life aren’t until Monday morning, the 3rd of August. There’s a pulse of 3ft of groundswell out of the SSE, with a period of 11 seconds, so it’s got some shape and energy. What really makes it stand out is that the wind is light and cross-off, leaving it clean. That Monday morning window is the best of a slow lot.
We then get a bit of a run of clean, cross-off mornings on the 5th and 6th of August, but the swell is tiny and weak. On Wednesday the 5th, we’re looking at 1ft of SE swell, and Thursday the 6th sees 3ft of SE swell at 11 seconds. While it’s clean, the size just isn’t enough to get excited about.
The week starting Monday the 10th of August offers the next proper standout. Monday morning sees a solid 4ft of SSE groundswell at 11 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off from the WNW, so it’ll be clean. Then Tuesday the 11th of August is the pick of the whole run. The morning starts with offshore winds from the NW and 3ft of SSE swell at 12 seconds. It stays good into the afternoon with light cross-off breezes and even a bit more energy. That’s a long-period groundswell, so expect better shaped waves and longer waits between sets, which could make the paddle out a bit easier at this point break.
Later in the week, Friday the 14th of August morning looks promising again, with a clean 3ft of ESE swell at 9 seconds. The afternoon jumps to 5ft of the same swell, which is the biggest size on offer, but the wind turns a bit more onshore and the surf is described as marginal, so it's not the best call.
For a spot that’s only fairly consistent and can get crowded sometimes, it’s a bit of a waiting game. For now, target the clean mornings of the 3rd and the 10th and 11th of August for the best chance of a decent wave.
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.
