Aiguaoliva Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee and let’s have a look at what’s lining up in your neck of the woods. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – right now, the ocean is taking a nap.

Right from the start and running all the way through, the pattern here is a flat, sleepy stretch. For the first week, there’s barely a whisper of swell to talk about. We’re looking at tiny, short-period leftovers almost every day from the SE or S, with heights bouncing between 0.3 ft and 1.0 ft. That combined swell energy is mostly in the single digits – 4, 2, 1 – which tells you all you need to know. It’s a classic early-September lull at Aiguaoliva, a reef break that rarely breaks anyway. There are long gaps of several days where there’s literally nothing worth paddling for. The water is sitting at a warm 81°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that’s small comfort when the waves are missing.

Now, I need to be honest with you. This break is about as inconsistent as they come. It rarely breaks at all. So this blank run isn’t a shock – it's more normal for this area than having a pumping session. The setup doesn’t have a single standout day. Every single forecast slot through the entire 16-day outlook is flagged as "poor surf conditions." That’s a brutal run.

We do see a few mornings with glassy conditions – like Wednesday 10th September morning with glass and a tiny 1 ft SSE swell (combined energy 8), or Thursday 11th September morning with clean cross-off wind and 1.0 ft. But the swell is just too weak and short-period (3 to 4 seconds) to wrap into the reef with any shape. It’s more of a ripple than a wave.

Heading into the second week, nothing changes. The numbers stay stubbornly low: 0.3 ft to 2 ft, period rarely over 4 seconds. There’s a tiny blip on Sunday 14th September afternoon with a 2 ft SSE swell pushing the combined energy up to 15 – the highest of the whole run – but it’s arriving with a gentle cross-onshore breeze, so it’ll be bumpy. Still not enough to make you rush.

If you’re desperate for a wet suit rinse, the best of a terrible bunch is probably the earlier half of the second week. Wednesday 10th through Friday 12th September mornings have clean conditions (glass or clean cross-off wind) with the swell nudging 1.0 ft to 1 ft. But even then, this is strictly a longboard or a swim fins kind of deal. The swell direction is mostly SSE or ESE, and the optimum for this spot is ENE, so it’s hitting from the wrong angle anyway.

Honestly, this is a write-off. There’s nothing here that qualifies as a genuine surf session. Hang the board up, check back in a week or two, and hope the forecasts shift. Forecasts can change, and it doesn’t tend to stay this poor forever, but for now, the ocean has gone quiet.

Rusty.
