The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Well, it’s a familiar story for Aha Rivermouth. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing coming our way for the rest of August. There’s not a single stand-out day in the next 16 days, and you are going to be staring at a long stretch of flat or blown-out conditions.
Right now, the water is sitting at a balmy 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The only ripple of energy we get comes in early next week, but it’s a cruel tease. By Tuesday, August 5th, a giant easterly swell is going to jack up to 10 ft, with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s a heap of energy, but it’s also going to be far too big for this spot. The onshore wind will be howling at 16 mph from the north-northeast, making it a messy, dangerous affair for experts only. By Wednesday, August 6th, it’s full-on storm surf, with 20 ft+ waves and gale-force winds. This setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than any kind of paddle surfing, honestly.
After that storm passes, the swell completely collapses. From Sunday, August 10th, onwards through the middle of the month, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells under 3 ft. The wind does swing offshore from the south-southeast for a few days after the 9th, keeping things clean, but there’s simply no wave to ride. It’ll be a glassy, flat ocean.
There is one small flicker of hope right at the end of the outlook. On Saturday morning, August 15th, we have a 3 ft easterly swell with a light 6 mph offshore wind from the west-northwest. That’s about the best we can hope for, a clean, knee-high wave for a few hours.
Overall, this is a near-total blank run for Aha Rivermouth. If you’re desperate, maybe check the river mouth itself on the morning of the 15th, but otherwise, it’s a time for gear repairs and watching the forecasts for a change.

Information about the Aha Rivermouth Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Aha Rivermouth provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aha Rivermouth can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aha Rivermouth 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 (Aha Rivermouth) 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 Aha Rivermouth 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.
