The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Tiki over the next couple weeks.
First up, the news ain’t great for the first stretch. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions, with only a tiny glimpse of something surfable on Thursday the 6th of August. Thursday morning you might find a tiny 1ft wave from the SE, but it’s nothing to write home about. The wind is light, so it’s clean, but the size is small.
Then Friday the 7th gets messy with strong SW winds hitting 25 mph, and the swell is all over the place.
The first real bright spot is Saturday the 8th of August. The morning turns glassy with a light 3ft southerly swell. It’s clean, but only just surfable. Water temp is about 54°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a big deal, but a little more comfortable than usual.
The highlight, and the one to circle on your calendar, is Monday the 10th of August. Swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW, with clean cross-off wind from the WNW at 13 mph. The combined energy is strong (594) and it stays solid into Tuesday the 11th with a 7ft southerly groundswell at a very long 13 seconds, and energy climbing to 1667. That’s a proper groundswell – long period, powerful, and built for the point at Tiki. This is not for beginners though – anything over 8ft is expert territory, and even 7ft is a handful if you’re not confident. The wind stays clean, so the waves will be well-shaped. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here, especially when it gets good.
Later in the run, Monday the 17th of August is another solid option. Swell drops to 4ft from the east, but the wind is light and cross-off, keeping the surface clean. Energy is moderate (204) and it’s a good choice for a more relaxed session.
So, bottom line: the first week is a bust. The real action is Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th – that’s the pick of the period. After that, it settles down but stays clean. Get out there for the big groundswell if you’re up for it.
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.
