The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here.

Let’s be straight with you. Aha Rivermouth is a beach and jetty set-up, so it needs the right conditions to really fire, and over this 16-day window, it’s a pretty lean run. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year – no surprises there.

The best of a quiet bunch comes on Wednesday 12 August. It’s not big, but we’ve got a small 3ft ENE groundswell rolling in with an 11-second period. That’s a nice long period, meaning better shaped waves with some punch. The real winner is the wind – a light cross-off in the morning, going glassy by Thursday 13th morning with zero wind. That’s proper clean, buttery conditions at a spot that’s fairly consistent. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best (155), so it’s not going to be pumping, but for a sneaky, uncrowded session it’s as good as it gets. The afternoon of Wednesday 12th is also clean with a light westerly. The swell direction (ENE) isn’t the optimum (NE), so it’ll be a bit wonky, but with that wind, it’s worth a look.

After that, things drop off. From Thursday afternoon onwards it’s mostly poor with choppy onshore winds and tiny swell. There’s a big spike on 20 August – an 12ft SE swell hits, but it’s cross-shore and lumpy with fresh breeze. The afternoon actually shows “wind and tide favorable, but the swell is predicted to be too big for this break” – over 10ft and way too much for a jetty spot. The energy is through the roof (1997 / 1730), but it’s a mess, and at that size, it’s for experts only and honestly, it’s likely more interesting for kite surfing.

From 21 August onward, it’s onshore winds and lumpy conditions with swell dropping back to 5-6ft but never clean. The end of the window (26 August) shows a massive 15ft groundswell with a 15-second period and gale force winds – clean offshore, but that’s a beast for big wave chargers only, and far out in the second week so less certain. Not a paddle-friendly setup for most.

In short: Wednesday 12th morning is the standout. Tiny, clean, and uncrowded. The rest is a write-off or too big and messy.

Rusty.

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.
