The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, putting it in feet. Let's be straight, this stretch is getting hammered by a constant cross-shore wind, and that's just killing the chances of anything clean. Water temp's a normal 80°, nothing special.
The only spot on the cards is ADs/Doubles. It's a fairly consistent intermediate break, exposed to an ESE swell pattern, but the wind is the enemy. Come Tuesday the 4th, the morning has a 5ft swell from the ENE, but with a 9 mph cross-on breeze it's just choppy and blown out. The combined energy is moderate. That afternoon, the wind jumps to 16 mph and goes cross-shore – just marginal surf. Wednesday is more of the same garbage, and Thursday looks rough with storms threatening.
And honestly, the wind never lets up. It's blowing from the ENE for day after day – 16, 19, 22, even 25 mph at times. The swell gets bigger, like around the 8th and 9th with 6 to 7 feet, but it’s on a short period and getting torn to pieces. Even a big south groundswell swings in around the 12th with a long 18-second period and very strong wave energy, but it’s all wrecked by the wind. For a beach break like this with those conditions, it’s more suited for the kite crew than anyone with a paddle.
The entire 16-day outlook is a write-off for clean surf. Crowds can be an issue here when it’s good, but with quality this poor, you’ll have the place to yourself – and you still don't wanna be in the water.
Honestly, I’d save the wax. It’s not worth it.
Rusty.

Information about the ADs/Doubles Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for ADs/Doubles provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at ADs/Doubles can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our ADs/Doubles 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 (ADs/Doubles) 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 ADs/Doubles 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.
ADs/Doubles is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Kailua. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kailua. Kailua has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
