The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead for Aiguaoliva. We're looking at a full 16-day window with barely a ripple to get excited about. The water's sitting at a very unusual 85°, which is a solid 7° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's like surfing in a warm bath, but that's about the only positive.
The problem is the swell. For the entire forecast period, we're dealing with tiny, weak energy. The biggest reading we get is on the afternoon of Saturday, 29 August, with a combined energy of just 142 (moderate), but even then, the swell is only 4 ft from the east with a short 8-second period. Before that, we're looking at weeks of flatness. From now through to Saturday, 29 August, the swell hovers between 0.3 ft and 3 ft, with periods rarely breaking 6 seconds. The wave energy is often in the single digits or low double digits. It's a brutal stretch, with most days showing "poor surf conditions" across the board.
There is a slight glimmer on the morning of Saturday, 29 August when it's glassy with a 2 ft east swell, but it's still tiny. The only real standout, if you can call it that, is the afternoon of Saturday, 29 August. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the east, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 142. It's clean with light winds, but the swell direction is ENE, which is exactly what this reef break wants. Still, it's barely a blip, and the rest of the period is a write-off. Aiguaoliva rarely breaks as it is, and this run of no swell just confirms it. For kite surfers, the stronger afternoon winds over the weekend might offer something, but for paddle surfing, it's a blank.

Information about the Aiguaoliva Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Aiguaoliva provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aiguaoliva can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aiguaoliva surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Aiguaoliva) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Aiguaoliva 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.
