Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at the local surf for the next couple of weeks.
I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – the Aha Rivermouth is looking pretty quiet to start. The water is 81°, which is a tick cooler than normal for this time of year, so you might want a light spring suit. We kick off with a couple of flat days on Sunday and Monday with tiny 1ft to 2ft waves and poor conditions – not worth getting wet.
There is one real window of opportunity. Tuesday morning, July 7th, is the clear winner. The wind is glassy, dead calm, and that ESE swell comes in at a clean 4ft with a long 14-second period and moderate wave energy (497). The wind is offshore from the WNW, so the surface will be smooth. That’s your session, no question.
It goes downhill fast after that. Tuesday afternoon the wind gets messy, and by Wednesday, July 8th, the swell jumps to 8ft to 10ft of ESE groundswell with a very long 18-second period. The wave energy is massive (4,480 to 5,392), but the onshore wind makes it a washing machine. That’s expert-only, and honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle day.
From Thursday, July 9th, onward, it’s a total loss. We’ve got a solid week of brutal onshore winds from the east and southeast, blowing 22 to 28 mph, with huge, messy, stormy surf. The combined energy peaks at 14,370, but it’s all junk. A few days around July 12th to 14th drop to tiny 0.7ft to 1ft windswell, but the wind is still bad. The stretch from July 9th to July 20th is a big, empty gap with no surf to speak of.
So, the one and only call is a glassy Tuesday morning on the 7th. After that, it’s a long wait. Not the best outlook for the Rivermouth, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
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.
Aha Rivermouth is 31 km (19 miles) from the city of Okinawa. If you plan a holiday in Okinawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Okinawa. Okinawa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
