Anaehoomalu Bay_A-Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Anaehoomalu Bay – A-Bay for the next couple weeks. Straight off, it’s flat, so don’t hold your breath.

Starting Saturday the 12th, there’s zero surf. The water’s 82°, which is about average for the season, but that’s the only nice thing. This flat spell hangs around for days. The first week is basically a washout. A few tiny 1ft bumps pop up, but they’re blown out or just don’t have any power. The longest stretch of nothing is from the 12th right through the 16th.

We get a little hiccup of life on Wednesday the 16th afternoon. A little SW swell, about 1ft, with a 18-second period. The combined energy is 109 (moderate). That long period means it’s a groundswell, so it’ll have some push, but at A-Bay it might wall up a bit straight. It’s a reef and point set-up though, so it should wrap. Wind is light and cross-shore – not perfect, but you could get a few. Still, we’re talking 1ft waves.

Then it’s back to quiet. Next faint pulse is Sunday the 22nd afternoon with a 1ft NNW swell, 14-second period, and cross-shore breeze. Energy’s only 40 – weak. Not worth it.

The real hope is at the end. Sunday the 27th morning shows a 1ft WNW swell at 16 seconds – good direction for A-Bay. Energy hits 79. By the afternoon, it shifts to a 1ft NNW swell with a 19-second period (very long period) and the energy gets up to 98. And the wind goes glassy. For A-Bay, glassy is a big deal – clean, smooth waves.

This is the one session of the whole outlook. It’s two weeks out, so it’s a long-range maybe, but if it lines up, that glassy afternoon with a long-period groundswell from a good angle will be your best bet. It’s small enough for beginners, but it’s a consistent spot so you might have company – crowds are sometimes a thing.

Bottom line: the first ten days are mostly dead. Keep your eyes on that last weekend for your only real chance.

Rusty.
