The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty again. Let’s run through Waihee in feet and miles per hour. Same story – the whole 16-day run from July 19 through August 3 is a bust. No good waves worth paddling out for. Waihee is a reef and point that likes a NNE swell, but we’ve got persistent cross-on wind from the ENE or NE, and the swell’s mostly short-period and weak. Water temp is about 79°F, nothing unusual.
Only one morning offers a glimmer: Monday, July 27. A 5ft east swell with a long 14-second period (groundswell, so some punch) – combined energy is strong at 1033. But the wind is a gentle cross-on from the NE at 9 mph, leaving the surface fairly choppy. That’s the one “marginal” call. Everything else is plain poor: chest-high windswell (3-5ft), period 7-8 seconds, cross-on winds 12-15 mph, choppy and lumpy. A couple afternoons push 5-7ft but with even shorter period and stronger wind – only for the hardcore.
Waihee’s fairly consistent and a solid setup, so this stretch is a bit of a rough patch. Don’t write it off forever – forecasts can flip. But for now, the best bet is that Monday morning July 27, and even that’s a gamble. If you’ve got a kite, you’ll have more fun.
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.
