The Lowdown
Alright, it's Rusty. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—Aha Rivermouth is looking grim for a long stretch. We start off on Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd with zero quality. The wind is all wrong, cross-onshore and lumpy, and the water's a warm 83°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
The one and only bright spot is Friday the 4th of September in the morning. That’s your standout. We get a nice switch to offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph, making things glassy. There’s a 3 ft swell rolling in from the north with a moderate combined energy of 222. It’s not huge, but the offshore flow is going to groom that jetty break into some clean, fun little waves.
But it’s a flash in the pan. By Friday afternoon, the swell shrinks to 3 ft with a weak 7-second period, and from Saturday the 5th all the way to Thursday the 17th, it’s a wasteland. You’ll see some bigger surf later on—like on the 16th and 17th with waves over 7 ft and strong energy readings in the thousands—but the wind is always onshore or cross-onshore, sometimes cranking up to 28 mph, making it lumpy as hell. That’s a mess best left for the kite surfers.
So, one morning to aim for: Friday the 4th. The rest of the 16 days? A long, dry, ugly run. Keep the faith, things can flip.

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.
