The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table.
Honestly, it’s a tough run ahead for Aha Rivermouth. Over the next 16 days, there’s not a single session that stands up as a goer. The whole picture is grim – nearly every single slot is marked as poor surf conditions, with hardly a window where the wind and swell line up. You’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch with practically no real surf on offer.
Let’s break it down. The first possible mention is Thursday the 10th of September afternoon, but even then, it’s marginal. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the north, period around 9 seconds, but the wind is cross-on from the north at 6 mph, which isn’t doing it any favours. The combined energy is moderate (375), but the water temp is 83° – about average for this time of year – and the wave comment says it’s marginal or questionable tide conditions. Not worth paddling out for.
From there, it’s a dead zone. Friday the 11th through to almost the end of the period is just poor conditions day after day. Winds are mostly cross or cross-on, often moderate to fresh, and the swell heights drop right down to 2ft or 1ft with short periods. The combined energy drops to very weak numbers, like 40 or 35 towards the end of the month. There’s a little bump in size around the 19th and 20th of September when a 7ft to 10ft east swell shows up with a very long period (16-18 seconds), but the wind is howling – near gale from the north-northeast at 31 mph. That’s blown out, lumpy, and only for experts if anyone’s stupid enough. The combined energy hits 4646, which is strong, but with that wind, it’s a kite-surfing circus, not a surfer’s wave.
There’s a tiny flicker right at the end on Friday the 25th of September – a 5ft to 7ft swell from the east-southeast with 10-second period and light offshore north-northeast wind at 9 mph. The combined energy climbs back to moderate to strong (403 and 757), but the wave comment still says poor surf conditions. Even so, if I had to pick the only potential window, that Friday afternoon might be the least worst – but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Honestly, this is a blank run. Aha Rivermouth is a beach and jetty setup that can work with the right swell from the northeast, but nothing in this forecast delivers. The consistency is “fairly consistent” normally, but this stretch is a write-off. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s no surf worth chasing.
Stay patient, mate. Rusty.

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.
