Ahu Ahu Road Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a look at the next 16 days for Ahu Ahu Road.

First up, Tuesday morning, July 21st, we’re looking at a clean start. The water’s sitting at 59°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year – nothing wild, just a nice little anomaly. We’ve got a 5ft swell pushing in from the WSW with a solid 13-second period, and the wind is glassy out of the SE. The combined energy is moderate at 746. It’s not a monster, but it’s clean, it’s glassy, and it’s a good, fun morning for a beginner-friendly wave. That’s the pick of the first few days.

Tuesday afternoon, the wind shifts to a cross-on from the WSW and the surf quality drops. Wednesday and Thursday are messy with cross-shore winds and shorter periods, so I’d skip those. Friday is a write-off with fresh onshore winds and lumpy conditions.

Now, Saturday the 25th – that’s a big one, but it’s a problem. We’ve got a massive 21ft swell from the WSW, with a combined energy reading of 12784. That’s strong, way too strong, and the wind is a messy cross-shore at 28 mph. The afternoon is even bigger at 21ft and 14 seconds. This is for experts only, and honestly, with that wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. I’d leave it.

Sunday the 26th is the real standout. The swell drops to a still-chunky 13ft from the W, with a 14-second period, but the wind is a clean cross-off from the E at 9 mph. Combined energy is 6112 – still very strong, but the conditions are clean. This is exceptional for expert surfers. The morning is the best on offer in the whole window. The afternoon stays clean with a 10ft swell and offshore wind, but the morning is the one.

Monday the 27th morning is still worthwhile – 8ft from the WSW, 13 seconds, and glassy offshore wind from the SE. Clean and fun for experienced surfers. After that, the wind turns onshore and the quality goes downhill through the middle of the week. There’s a big gap of poor conditions from Tuesday the 28th all the way through the end of July.

Then we get a nice little run into August. Saturday August 1st has glassy conditions with a 5ft WSW swell, 14-second period, and light wind. The afternoon brings a 8ft SSE swell, but it’s glassy again. That afternoon could be a fun little session. Sunday August 2nd is dead calm and glassy, with 5ft and 5ft swells – very clean, very cruisy. The trend continues into Monday and Tuesday with offshore winds and clean, small waves in the 3ft to 4ft range. Not huge, but perfect for a longboard or a log.

The real standout for the whole 16 days is Sunday July 26th morning. Big, clean, powerful swell with offshore wind – that’s the one to circle.

Stay safe out there.
