Anaehoomalu Bay_A-Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a bit of a dry spell for most of it. The first week and a half is looking pretty grim, with hardly any surf worth mentioning. There’s a small window late in the period that’s the only thing to get excited about.

The best of the lot, and the only real standout, comes on the Wednesday afternoon of the 19th of August at Anaehoomalu Bay A-Bay (this is a reef and point setup). The swell is a tiny 1ft out of the WNW, but it’s got a 12-second period, so it’s got a little push. The combined swell energy is weak at 89, but the wind goes glassy, which is a game-changer for a wave this small. It’ll be clean, tiny, and probably fun on a longboard. Expect a crowd, because this spot is popular.

Before that, from Tuesday the 11th of August all the way through the morning of the 19th, it’s mostly poor surf. We’re looking at ankle-biters, 0.7ft to 1ft, with weak energy (usually under 50). The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the water temperature is about average for this time of year. The Thursday morning of the 20th of August has another glassy moment with a 1.0ft, 18-second groundswell from the SW, but that kind of long period on a small wave will just make it close out. The afternoon of the 21st of August also goes glassy, but again, only 1.0ft of SW swell. Tantalizing, but not enough.

From the 22nd of August onward, it gets worse. The 22nd and 23rd see tiny, short-period (8 seconds) swell with very weak energy (11 to 20). The 24th and 25th of August are flat, with zero combined energy. The 26th of August ends the run with a 0.3ft, 10-second swell and a combined energy of 3. Not worth the drive.

So, to wrap it up: the 19th of August afternoon is the one to target if you need a fix, but keep your expectations in check. Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of flat and small.

Rusty.
