Anaehoomalu Bay_A-Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got cooking.

To be straight with you, the next 16 days are pretty flat. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly poor conditions. For the first week or so, the waves just aren’t there – we’re talking about ankle to knee-high dribble at best. The combo energy is sitting in the doldrums, often under 100 (like 28), which tells you the ocean is having a nap.

Anaehoomalu Bay (a reef and point setup) is the only break on the cards here. It’s a consistent spot, fairly exposed to the WNW swell, and it needs that direction. But for most of this period, the swell is tiny – 0.7ft to 1ft – and while the period can be decent (11 to 17 seconds) at times, there's just no power behind it.

There’s a brief flicker of life around Thursday the 20th on the afternoon. The swell direction shifts to SW with a long 18-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 70. Winds go glassy calm. It’s still only 1ft, so it’s not going to be pumping, but those conditions (glassy, clean) will make the most of what’s there for a slow, gentle session. If you are desperate for a paddle, that’s your best bet. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

The rest of the run is mostly cross-onshore breezes or flat calm, with wave energy bouncing between 8 and 82. Nothing stands out as a true standout. It’s one of those blank runs for the area – more normal than you’d hope. Swell just isn't making it in with any purpose.

Keep your eye on the Friday the 28th morning, where we see a WNW swell with 16-second period and energy of 82. That’s the most promising signal, but it’s still small at 1ft and cross-onshore. It’s a long way out, so don't hold your breath.

Honestly, for the next two weeks, leave the boards in the car and maybe bring a snorkel. The ocean is taking a break.
