Aiguaoliva Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Gotta be honest with you, looking at Aiguaoliva over the next 16 days… it’s not looking good. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, or just plain messy conditions. The first real chance at anything surfable doesn’t show up until Thursday the 10th of September, and even then, it’s pretty ordinary.

So, from now until the 9th of September, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap with no real surf on offer. The water temperature is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 81°F.

Let’s break it down. For the first week-plus, we’ve got almost nothing. Tiny dribbles of swell, periods under 8 seconds, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The wave energy is almost non-existent, with values like 0, 3, and 4 – that’s just weak. The afternoon sea breezes are killing any chance of clean waves.

The first glimpse of something happens on the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. We’ve got a 2 ft swell from the ESE with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is still only 44 – very weak. The wind is glassy, which is a major positive, but the swell is just too small and short-period to get excited about. The conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary.”

The next morning, Friday the 11th, shows a similar 2 ft swell from the S, but with a short 4-second period and a cross-onshore breeze from the SSE at 12 mph, making it choppy. Not worth getting wet for.

Saturday the 12th of September morning has a clean 2 ft swell from the SE with a 5-second period, but the energy is still low at 36. It’s clean, but tiny.

The best of a bad bunch might be the morning of Monday the 15th of September. A 2 ft swell from the E with an 8-second period, and clean cross-offshore winds from the N at 6 mph. The combined energy is 33. Still small, but that longer period and clean wind give it a bit more shape. It’s the closest thing to a standout here, but honestly, it’s barely a blip.

This reef break at Aiguaoliva is a beginner spot, and it rarely breaks. The whole setup is exposed to the ENE swell, but we’re just not getting any size or energy. The optimum swell direction is ENE, but the swells we do get are mostly from the SE or ESE, so the alignment is off.

For the whole 16-day window, there’s no decent swell. This is one of those periods where you just have to wait. It’s a blank run, and that’s pretty normal for this area when the ocean just doesn’t deliver.
