Greg you could probably phone the coast guard and check out the conditions if you really wanted.
 
Or if you want you can go to surf2surf .com and check the surf report check muriwai or piha the night before and then check the spots further south and make sure there is not a fresh souwest swell running up the coast. Just becareful that there isnt a low in the mid tasman about to push a west angle swell in though.
 
If you can read an isobar map that would probably help too.
 
Im guessing the  bar would be crossable on a two metre at high water without two much trouble, but then you would probably want a high water in the morning and a high water in the arvo to get out and come in on.
 
I havent personaly crossed the bar in a solid two metre swell so don't quote me on that one, but have surfed a lot over there and i doubt the bar breaks at high water on a two metre, unless its a neap tide or something.
 
I was out wednesday and i had swell map reading about 1.5 metres , i would say it was less than that when i was out there thats where u wanna check the surf report.
 
Any way swell map is pretty accruate but if you want real live data check the surf report. I dont have a large boat with a hard top so have to be reasonably weary of the bar.
 
hope that helps.
 
You can always launch at ahipara if your worried about the swell.

I am keen on having a shot over the Hoki as well. What is the best way to find out whether the bar is suitable to cross with out travelling all the way up from Whangarei to have a look. Last Wednesday I think Swell map was predicting 2.5 m on the west coast but looking at Mainlanders photos this was not the case any info would be well received. Congrats on the fish Mainlander way to go.]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:48:52 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51613&PID=734511&title=hokianga-fires#734511 <![CDATA[hokianga fires : you beauty...only the hoki can...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=51613&PID=734314&title=hokianga-fires#734314 Author: TM.

I too remember a few days at high school involving a bout of "crook guts"
..."yeah hi, its mikes dad here...he wont be in for a couple of days, seems to have caught a bug of sorts... (clicker going off on the reel in the back-ground)"

Those were the days alright!LOL
