The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next sixteen days for Waihee.
Straight up, it’s a tough run. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions ahead. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until the morning of Wednesday, July 29th – that’s over a week of waiting. The wind is relentless from the east-northeast, blowing cross-onshore day after day, turning the ocean into a choppy mess. For a spot that’s a reef and point setup, that’s a heartbreaker. The swell is mostly small and short period, with a consistent moderate energy in the 200-400 range, but it’s all junk.
The one glimmer on the horizon comes on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. The wind swings to the north, goin’ light onshore, and we see a jump in swell size. The combined energy hits a strong 1026, which is a big jump from the weak stuff we’ve been seeing. The waves are comin’ in around 7 ft from the east-northeast with a period of 11 seconds. It’s still a marginal call, but that’s the best we’re gonna get. The wind is forecast to be a light breeze, which is a huge improvement. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is about average for this time of year here.
The afternoon of that same day, Wednesday July 29th, looks a touch better. The wind shifts to a light northwesterly, but it’s cross-onshore. The swell holds at 7 ft from the east-northeast, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is still strong at 1042. The wind is light, so the surface might be a bit bumpy but not blown out.
That’s the only real standout. After that, we slide back into the same cross-onshore chop for the rest of the period. The week of August 3rd to the 6th sees a drop in swell size, with waves around 3 ft to 5 ft, but the wind is still a problem. The energy is weak to moderate, and conditions are just poor.
So, if you’re an intermediate surfer, keep your eyes on Wednesday, July 29th. That’s the shot. The rest of the window is a write-off. It’s a long wait, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Rusty.

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.
