No tide station is close enough to this beach to give a useful prediction. Tide times shift along the coast, so quoting a port far away would be misleading.
WeatherNZ reports forecast and marine data. It does not report whether a beach is patrolled, whether the water is safe to swim in, or where the rips are, and nothing on this page should be read as saying so. Those change constantly and belong to the organisations that monitor them.
For the wider area, see the Waikawa forecast.

Sampled 2 km from the beach — the wave model runs on a coarse ocean grid, so these figures describe this stretch of coast rather than one end of the beach. Swell direction is where the waves are coming from.
