Ahu Ahu Road Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s definitely some swell to be had if you’re patient.

We’re starting off with a pulse of energy that’s got some size to it. Tuesday morning is looking big and raw, with 10ft of SW swell and a strong 2944 units of energy. The wind is cross-off but it’s a bit fresh, and the conditions are lumpy. The afternoon cleans up nicely though, with the wind turning offshore and the swell dropping to a still-juicy 8ft. The period jumps to 15 seconds, which means it’s got some serious punch. This is a day for experienced surfers only, as it’s powerful and lined up.

Wednesday sees the swell ease a bit, but it’s still very rideable. Morning has 6ft of WSW swell with a light offshore wind and clean conditions. The afternoon drops to 5ft, and while the wind is a bit more cross-off, it’s still clean. This is your window if you want something a bit more manageable.

The next few days are a real lull. Thursday through Saturday are mostly small and messy, with the wind turning onshore and the swell dropping to under 3ft. It’s not worth paddling out for; you’d be fighting for scraps. The energy is weak, and the conditions are poor.

Then we get a nice reset. Sunday brings a clean, glassy day with 3ft of long-period WSW swell. The wind is light and variable, and the vibe is super clean. This is a great day for a longboard or a funboard. It’s not big, but it’s perfect.

Monday is another good one, with the swell building slightly to 4ft in the morning and 5ft by the afternoon. The wind is offshore and then glassy, with the period holding at 16 seconds. This is a solid, clean, and consistent day. The afternoon is a standout for the week—glassy, clean, and with some good energy.

Tuesday gets a bit trickier. The morning is still okay with 4ft, but the afternoon sees a new, short-period swell arrive from the NNW, which is a poor direction for this spot. It’s a bit of a jumble, and the quality drops off.

Then things get serious. Wednesday and Thursday of the next week see a big pulse of energy. We’re talking 10ft to 12ft of swell, with strong energy readings in the 2800-5000 range. The wind is cross-off, so it’s not completely blown out, but these are big, powerful waves. The period is moderate, around 10-11 seconds, so it’s not the cleanest, most organized swell. This is for big-wave specialists only. The conditions are marginal, and the currents will be strong.

Friday of that week is still big, with 8ft of WSW swell, but it’s a bit cleaner. The morning is cross-off, but the afternoon goes glassy with a 14-second period. This is a much better option for experienced surfers who want some size without the chaos.

The following Saturday looks great on paper. Morning has 6ft of WSW swell with a very long 18-second period and glassy conditions. This is a fantastic setup for a point break or reef, but for a beach break, the long period can make it a bit too straight. Still, it’s clean and powerful. The afternoon gets a bit dicey with a strong cross-shore wind, so make the most of the morning.

The rest of the forecast is a bit of a letdown. It’s not flat, but the wind is either too strong, cross-shore, or onshore, and the quality is poor. There’s a window on Monday the 17th with 4ft of swell and a cross-off wind, but it’s not going to be amazing. The energy is average, and the conditions are just okay.

So, the pick of the bunch is the Monday the 10th afternoon, with clean, glassy 5ft waves and a long period. The big days on the 12th and 13th are for the charger crew, but the conditions are tricky. The Saturday the 15th morning is also a standout for the clean, long-period swell, if you can find a spot that handles it.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit is still the go-to.

This is Rusty, signing off. Keep an eye on the sky and the tide.
