The Lowdown
Alright, folks, I’ll be straight with ya – it’s a grim stretch ahead for Waihee. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run of pretty ordinary surf conditions, with no real standout days to get excited about. The wind is locked in from the ENE, blowing cross-on, and that’s just trashing the surface. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 80°, nothing wild there.
The whole forecast is a bit of a write-off. From Sunday the 2nd of August right through to Monday the 17th of August, it’s one poor surf report after another. The swell is coming from the ENE, which is far from the optimum NNE direction that Waihee really wants to see. The wave heights are hanging around the 4ft to 7ft mark, but with short periods of 6 to 11 seconds, it’s all just wind chop and weak, messy energy. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate at best, topping out around 694, but it’s poorly directed and the wind is a constant problem.
There’s a brief moment on Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th where the swell period stretches to 11 seconds, hinting at a bit more shape, but it’s still cross-on and the surf is just marginal. Don’t be fooled – it’s a pass on those days too.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The wind is relentless, the swell is all wrong, and the surf quality is just poor. If you’re really keen, the bigger days with the 5ft to 7ft swell and moderate wind might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the beach-and-reef setup here. But for a clean wave? Forget it. The forecast can always change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.

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.
