Anaehoomalu Bay_A-Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Anaehoomalu Bay, also known as A-Bay, over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet period. The first real chance of a wave comes on Thursday the 10th, but honestly, it's barely a ripple. We're looking at a tiny 1 ft swell rolling in from the SW with a very long period of 16 seconds. The energy is weak, just 42 (combined energy), so don't expect much push. The wind is a light cross-onshore at 3 mph, which won't help. It's a tough start.

Friday the 11th isn't much better. The swell stays tiny at 1 ft, but the period drops to 10 seconds. The morning looks glassy though, which is a nice thing to see. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The weekend and into the following week are flat. From Saturday the 12th right through to the early hours of Friday the 18th, we're looking at a real gap. The swell is either non-existent or so small it's not worth paddling out for. The wind is often light, but there's just no wave energy to work with. You'll see a lot of zeros in the energy readings.

Finally, there's a bit of a pulse on Friday morning the 18th. The swell pushes up to 1 ft from the SW with a 17-second period, and the energy jumps to 107 (combined energy). That's the best we're going to see in this whole outlook. The wind is light cross-shore at 6 mph, which is manageable. It's still small, but for a long-period groundswell, A-Bay's reef and point setup is the right place to be. The long period will mean better shaped waves, but also longer lulls between sets.

After that, it settles back down. The rest of the month is a mix of tiny SW and W swells, with the occasional glassy afternoon. The second week, from the 19th onwards, is pretty much a write-off. You'll get some clean, glassy moments, especially on the 21st and 24th, but with next to no swell, it's a flat spell.

Overall, the standout is that Friday the 18th session. It's not a classic, but it's the only real window of opportunity. For the rest of the time, you're better off stretching the legs or checking the forecast for a change. Crowds are possible at A-Bay when it's good, but with this outlook, you'll have the place to yourself.

Rusty.
