Table - best surf conditions forecast for Waihee over the next 16 days.


Alright, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown in feet and Fahrenheit. The whole 16-day stretch is a tough one. From Wednesday, July 8th, all the way through to Monday, July 21st, it's relentless cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions at Waihee. The swell sits between 5ft and 7ft from the ENE, but that wind just tears it up. The combined energy is moderate for most of that run, but because the wind never lets up, this setup is more suited for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Then, around July 21st and 22nd, the swell direction shifts more east and the period jumps way up to 15 to 17 seconds—that's a proper groundswell. The wave energy gets strong, and the size drops to a cleaner 3ft to 4ft. Sounds good in theory—long-period energy for a reef-and-point break can be magic. But the wind is still hammering from the ENE at around 12 mph, cross-on. So the surface stays chopped up, even with that high-quality swell underneath. The water temp is about 79°, right on average for the season.

Honestly, there are no good surf options to pick in this entire outlook. When this kind of blank run happens, and the trade winds just lock in, it's pretty normal for this area. The breaks are fairly consistent, so the surf will come back when the wind shifts, but for now, it's a no-go. Rusty out.

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.
