Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tiki over the next 16 days.
Hey folks, Rusty here again, translating all that number-crunching into something you can use. It’s a bit of a flat and funky stretch on the horizon, so don’t get your hopes up too high for the next two weeks. We’ve got a pretty big gap of poor conditions to start, so you’ll be doing more waxing than water time.
From now until next Thursday, the 10th, it's small and weak. The whole 16-day window has only a couple of spots that are even worth talking about.
Tiki (point) is our go-to, a consistent little spot that’s open to a south swell. Let’s be real, the first week is a struggle. The only morning that looks clean, Thursday the 9th, has a tiny 2ft east swell with light wind, but it's barely worth the paddle (79 combined swell energy). The rest of the week is a write-off with crummy winds.
The one bright spot is Saturday afternoon, July 11th. The wind will drop to a dead calm, glassy conditions with that 3ft east-southeast swell. But it’s the 14-second period that gets my heart pumping. That’s proper groundswell energy (460 combined swell energy) that will wrap around the point. It’s the clear winner of the entire 16-day forecast. Just remember, it’s a popular spot, so there will be a crowd for the best of it.
After that, you’re looking at a lot of nothing until the middle of the following week. Tuesday the 14th sees a tiny 3ft east swell with some clean offshore wind, but the energy is weak (111 combined swell energy). The week after that is just a mess of onshore winds from the south and some rain, making for blown-out, poor conditions. Some of those afternoon swells get bigger into the 5ft range but with strong onshore winds, making it a kite-surfing show more than anything else in the lineup.
So there you have it. Don’t waste your energy on the early days. Wait for the glass-off on Saturday afternoon, July 11th. That’s your session.

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.
