The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the outlook for Waihee over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’ve got a persistent run of moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds from the east and east-northeast that are just ruining the surface. The swell is hanging around, but the conditions are a mess.
The water temperature is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn't show up until the very end of the run. For the vast majority of the period, from Saturday the 1st of August all the way through to Saturday the 15th of August, it's a write-off. The wind is relentless, and while the swell height fluctuates, the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the board. The combined energy is mostly weak to moderate (ranging from 130 to 861), but it's wasted because the wind is cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. The swell period is short, mostly 7–8 seconds, which means weak, messy waves.
The only standout, and it's a long-range one, is on the final day, Sunday the 16th of August. The morning shows a bit of a shift. Swell height drops to 2 ft, but it's coming from the west-northwest with a period of 13 seconds. That's a much longer period groundswell, which packs a punch. The combined energy (478) is moderate. Now, the wind is still cross-on from the ENE at 12 mph, so it's not going to be glassy, but that longer period could mean the lines are a bit better, and the smaller size might make the cross-on wind less of a factor. It's a promising but uncertain prospect that far out. Keep an eye on it.
So, for the next two weeks, save your energy. Give it a miss until that Sunday the 16th of August, and even then, keep your expectations in check.
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.
