Tuahine Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for Tuahine Point. Let's break it down.

We've got a bit of a mixed bag on the horizon. The water is sitting at 55°F and a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want that extra rubber.

The action starts with a clean little window on Wednesday afternoon, the 26th. We've got a small but super clean 2ft SSE groundswell with a long 16 second period, and a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate (237). It's a fun little session for the loggers, but nothing to write home about.

The real standout looks like Thursday morning, the 27th of August. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the SSE with a very long 18 second period, packing a moderate energy reading of 553. The wind is a light 3 mph cross-shore, making conditions pretty clean. It's a reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. You'll want to be on it early before the winds shift.

The 28th keeps things tidy with clean offshore winds through the day, and swell hanging around the 3ft mark. Good for a solid session.

We hit a bit of a lull from the 30th of August through the 31st, with the 31st seeing a big jump in energy to 1927 from an 8ft SSW swell, but it's accompanied by a moderate onshore breeze and rain, making it a messy, choppy mess. That size is for experts only, and the onshore wind will ruin the shape, so I'd give it a miss.

The next solid window opens up on Tuesday morning, the 1st of September. We've got a clean 5ft SSE swell with a 12 second period, offshore winds, and moderate energy at 604. It's a fantastic morning session.

After that, the swell drops off again. The 3rd of September afternoon shows a very interesting spike in period to 24 seconds on a tiny 1ft swell, but with energy at 312, it’s a weird one. The 4th of September morning is another good call with a 3ft SSE swell, long 17 second period, clean offshore winds, and energy at 547. That's a gem.

The rest of the run into the second week is mostly small and ordinary, with a glassy and tiny 1ft wave on the 6th, and a whole lot of nothing. The 10th of September shows a tiny 1ft clean wave, but it's just not enough to get excited about.

So, if you're picking your days: Thursday morning the 27th of August and Tuesday morning the 1st of September are your best bets. The 4th of September is a promising dark horse, but it's a bit further out so keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
