The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Titahi Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we’re in for a pretty flat spell to start. Don’t get your hopes up for the first week – there’s just nothing doing. The wind is howling from the south at 28 mph on Tuesday, and the swell is a measly 0.7 ft. It’s a real struggle. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, poor surf. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 12th of August. That’s a full week away. The morning is where it’s at. We’ve got a 8 ft NW groundswell rolling in with a 8-second period. The combined energy jumps right up to 924 – that’s a solid push of power. The wind is light from the ESE, keeping it clean. That’s the standout. It’s going to be a bit thumpy, but for Titahi, that’s a proper session. The afternoon drops off a bit, and the swell gets a little messy, so hit it early.
After that, it fades fast. Thursday the 13th has a bit of leftover 4 ft NW swell, but it’s real ordinary. Then we’re back into the doldrums for the rest of the run. The Southerly wind comes back strong, and the swell drops to almost nothing. For the second week, it’s looking like a total write-off – just tiny dribbles and onshore junk.
Bottom line: There’s one real window here, and it’s Wednesday the 12th of August in the morning. That’s the one to circle. The rest of the fortnight is a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Titahi Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Titahi Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Titahi Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Titahi Bay 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 (Titahi Bay) 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 Titahi Bay 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.
Titahi Bay is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Porirua. If you plan a holiday in Wellington, look for hotels and other accommodation in Porirua. Porirua has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
