Aiguaoliva Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've had a good look at the charts for your local zone and, honestly, it's a grim run. We're staring down the barrel of a solid two-week stretch where the surf just isn't showing up. There's almost nothing on offer, so get ready for a long flat spell.

We kick off from the 6th right to the 9th with nothing but tiny, weak dribble and a lot of onshore garbage. The odd session might look glassy on the morning of the 7th or 8th, but with swell barely hitting 1ft and period around 2 to 5 seconds, it’s not worth getting wet. You'll be doing more floating than surfing.

The 10th to the 15th doesn't get much better. The combined swell energy climbs to a measly 14 on the 10th morning, but with a 2ft easterly breeze-swell, it's just not enough to push you into anything. Same story right through until the 16th – we're talking tiny waves and onshore slop, with periods peaking at a pathetic 6 seconds. This is not surfable.

Finally, on the morning of the 18th of September, we see a tiny spark. The swell picks up to 3ft from the ENE, with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of 42. It’s the first time the model even rates it as "surfable." The wind is light and clean from the north, so if you are absolutely desperate, you could have a paddle. But this is beginner-only stuff.

That little bump fades quickly into the 19th and 20th. On the 20th, there's another pop in the afternoon, with the swell rising to 3ft from the SE, but the combined energy jumps to 163 (moderate) and the period stretches to 7 seconds. The problem? A cross-onshore wind is going to chop it up. It's a frustrating tease.

The last shot on the 21st morning sees some glassy conditions and a clean 2ft easterly swell with 5 seconds of period. The energy is a weak 34. It’s a flat, clean pond. There are just no standout sessions, no waves worth chasing.

For a wave this inconsistent that "rarely breaks," a blank run like this is actually pretty normal. The whole sixteen days is a write-off. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave your board in the shed.

Rusty.
