The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for a proper surf. Every single day is plagued by cross-onshore winds, and the swell is coming in from the ENE, which is pretty much the opposite of what this spot wants to see. The water temp is sitting at 79.7°, which is bang on average for the time of year, so you won't need a thick suit, but you'll be fighting the wind.

The first real recommendation doesn't even pop up. For the first few days, from Wednesday the 5th through the weekend, we’ve got small, weak, short-period slop with combined energy readings in the hundreds (154 to 409). It’s all labelled as poor surf conditions. The wind is a constant cross-on, making everything choppy.

The pattern doesn't let up. The second week rolls in, and it’s more of the same grim story. We get a bit more size, with swell heights climbing to 6.2 ft by the 14th and peaking at 7.2 ft on the 16th and 17th. The combined energy jumps into the high hundreds and even touches 743, but it's all for nothing. The wind sticks to the same cross-on script, and it’s still from the wrong direction. The waves will be lumpy, close-out slop, especially for a beach setup. Honestly, with that much breeze and consistent swell, this looks more like a kite surfer's paradise than a paddle surfer's dream.

There's no standout day here. No clean window. The wind just isn't going to play ball. If you're desperate, you could paddle out on the 20th when the breeze drops to 9 mph, but it's still cross-on and still poor. Sometimes you just have to swallow the bad news and wait for the next forecast. This is one of those times.

Information about the Waihee Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Waihee provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Waihee can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Waihee 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 (Waihee) 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 Waihee 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.
