The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Honestly, I’m looking at the next 16 days and it’s a tough one. The whole period is a bust for any decent surf at Waihee. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch with zero good sessions on offer. That’s a long, blank run.
The problem is the wind. It’s a persistent cross-onshore breeze from the ENE, blowing at 9 to 19 mph for the entire outlook. This is chopping everything up. Even when the swell bumps up to over 5 ft, like around the 15th and 16th of August, it’s just lumpy, messy, and blown out. The swell energy does get strong, hitting 514 (moderate wave energy) on the 16th, but it’s all for nothing with that wind.
The water temperature is sitting at 27° with an anomaly of 0.1°, so it’s spot on average for this time of year. But you won’t be enjoying it because the waves are just a write-off. With that consistent wind and the swell being a short-period, weak energy affair for most of the run, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. The only spot on the list is Waihee, a reef and point, but it’s just not firing. Conditions are poor across the board. The forecast can always change, but for now, save your energy and wait for a better window.

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.
