Ahu Ahu Road Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me translate that into feet and miles for you.

Alright, listen up. We got a slow start, but Ahu Ahu Road has some real crackers when it gets going. First decent waves show on Sunday, July 12. Sunday morning we’re looking at a solid 6 ft swell from the WSW, with a long 16-second period – that’s deep water groundswell. The wind is light and cross-off from the east at 3 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is strong at 1547, so plenty of push. This is for experienced surfers, and with that offshore wind, it’ll be holding a nice line.

Sunday afternoon holds at 5.6 ft, but the wind swings cross-shore, making it a bit lumpy. Rideable, but not the pick.

Monday, July 13, is a washout. Strong onshore winds from the NNE and N, blowing 16 to 19 mph, chop things up. Swell drops to 4.3 ft and 3.3 ft. Nothing happening.

Tuesday, July 14, gives us a short-period 8-second swell, so it’s weak and crumbly. Wind is onshore by the afternoon. Not worth paddling out.

Wednesday, July 15 – this is where it gets big. Wednesday morning shows a 10 ft groundswell from the WSW at a 16-second period. The combined energy is 4084. This is serious size, experts only. By Wednesday afternoon, it jumps to 11.5 ft with energy hitting 5192. Massive. The wind is onshore though, so it’ll be a messy, powerful wall. Not clean, but if you’re a charger, you’ll be watching.

Thursday, July 16, is a true standout. Thursday morning we got 8.2 ft from the WSW, still a long 15-second period, but the wind is light cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph. That’s clean. The combined energy is 2817 – strong, powerful, and with that offshore touch, it will be holding its shape. This is for experienced surfers, no question.

There’s a gap Friday, July 17, through Saturday morning, July 18, with poor onshore winds and dropping swell. Skip it.

Saturday afternoon, July 18, shows a glimmer: 6.6 ft from the WSW with a 17-second period – that’s very long period groundswell. The wind goes cross-off from the SSE at 16 mph, keeping it clean. The energy is 2992. Solid late-day option, but the wind is strong, so you’ll be working.

Sunday, July 19, morning is another highlight. 5.9 ft groundswell from the WSW at 16 seconds, combined energy 1975, and a light cross-off from the south at 6 mph. Clean, strong, and well-shaped. Good for stronger intermediate to expert surfers.

Monday, July 20, we get a nice surprise. Morning is 4.3 ft from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy from the east, dead calm. Afternoon is also glassy, 3.6 ft. Combined energy is around 600. This is small but perfectly clean – great for a longboard or a funboard. A nice break from the big stuff.

Tuesday, July 21, the wind turns onshore again, chops up. Swell is small, 3.3 ft to 3.9 ft. No good.

Wednesday, July 22, we get a massive 11.5 ft swell from the S at 9 seconds – that’s short-period wind swell. It’ll be messy and onshore. Only for the fearless.

Thursday, July 23, we’re back in business. Morning sees 3.6 ft from the WSW, 14-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the SE at 9 mph. Combined energy 514. That offshore wind will make this small swell look way better than it is. A fun, clean option.

Friday, July 24, swell drops to 2.6 ft, wind is cross. Nothing there.

And then, Saturday, July 25, is the absolute stand-out of the whole run. Saturday morning is 3.6 ft from the WSW with a 20-second period – that’s incredibly long period groundswell. Wind is dead calm, glassy. Combined energy 1858. The afternoon gets even better: 6.2 ft from the WSW, 18-second period, glassy calm, combined energy 3360. This is as good as it gets for Ahu Ahu Road. Clean, lined-up, powerful, and no wind. For experienced surfers, but that long period might make it a bit walled at a beach break.

Sunday, July 26, morning holds at 5.9 ft with a 16-second period and light cross-off winds. Still good, but not the perfection of Saturday.

After that, Monday, July 27, the onshore winds return,
