The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same rundown in feet and miles per hour.
We’re talking about Anaehoomalu Bay_A-Bay, a reef and point break that’s usually consistent when it gets a push. Water temp is about 80°, which is right around average for this time of year.
The first few days are dead. Monday, July 13th, we’ve got a 1ft swell from the west with a 12-second period, but it’s poor. The wind is glassy though, so if there were waves, it’d be clean. Energy is a weak 26.
Tuesday, July 14th, sees a little bump. Morning has 2ft west swell with a 19-second period—that’s a very long period groundswell. Energy hits 251 (moderate), but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s messy. The afternoon holds 2ft at 16 seconds, but it’s marginal.
Wednesday, July 15th, is similar. Mornings are 3ft west at 16 seconds, with a light offshore wind out of the WNW. That’s clean, but the wave comment says it’s still marginal. Afternoon gets a cross-onshore wind.
The best we’ve got is Thursday, July 16th. Morning has 3ft west swell at 15 seconds with offshore wind from the west, and energy is 301 (moderate). Afternoon stays at 3ft with the same period and offshore wind from the NW. Both windows are the cleanest of the whole run. The long period will give the waves shape at A-Bay, but it might be a bit straight otherwise.
After that, it’s downhill. Friday, July 17th, has 2ft dropping to 2ft, but the wind is onshore or glassy with weak energy. From Saturday, July 18th, through to July 25th, it’s flat for a long stretch. Swells stay under 2ft, and the energy is weak (below 89). There’s nothing to ride.
We get a tiny 0.6ft wave on July 26th, but it’s not worth talking about.
So, the only real window is Thursday, July 16th. The 3ft west swell with offshore winds makes it the cleanest and most energetic day in the 16-day outlook. The combined energy (301) is moderate, and for a reef and point, it’ll be the best of a quiet bunch. Crowds can show up sometimes, but if you’re keen, that’s the day.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Anaehoomalu Bay_A-Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Anaehoomalu Bay_A-Bay may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
