Aiguaoliva Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let me get straight to it.

This is a tough one. Looking at the 16-day window for Aiguaoliva, there’s really nothing happening. It’s a reef break that rarely breaks anyway, and the swell just isn’t delivering. We’ve got a long gap right from the start with no real surf on offer whatsoever.

The First Few Days

Sunday the 26th kicks off with a tiny 0.7 ft from the ENE with a weak period of 5 seconds. The wind is a cross-offshore in the morning, which is clean, but with combined energy of just (2), there’s zero push. It’s a non-event. Afternoon gets a slight bump to 1.0 ft, but it’s cross-shore and messy. This poor pattern sticks around. Monday and Tuesday stay in that 1.0 ft to 1 ft range with very weak energy (3-5). The water temperature is 82°, which is a solid 5° warmer than normal – that’s much warmer than average for the time of year, a real standout. But it doesn't help the surf. The wind is often clean in the mornings, but there’s simply no swell to work with.

A Glimpse of Hope, But Not Enough

Towards the end of the first week, on Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st, we see a tiny improvement. The swell bumps to a consistent 1 ft from the SE, with energy finally getting into the low double digits (7). Friday morning is glassy, which is a big positive for clean conditions, but that 1 ft with a 5-second period is just not going to produce a rideable wave. This is a classic case of all dressing and no dinner.

The Second Week

Into August, the story doesn't change. Sunday the 2nd of August sees the biggest swell of the whole 16 days at 2 ft from the S, and a combined energy of (13). But even that is tiny and the afternoon gets choppy. By the 5th and 6th of August, we get a slight spike in energy up to (40) on the Wednesday afternoon, but that's from a 2 ft E swell with a period of 6 seconds and onshore wind. It’s just weak, short-period, messy junk. The rest of the window fades back into the dirt.

The Verdict

There are no standouts here. For a break that’s already *rarely breaks*, this 16-day run is a total blank. The pattern is consistent: clean mornings with no swell, or onshore afternoons with a tiny bump. It’s not unusual for this area to have such poor runs. If you want to paddle, you’re better off looking elsewhere. On some of those bigger, choppier afternoons with a 2 ft to 2 ft swell and strong cross-on winds, a kitesurfer might find something fun, but for a surfboard, this is a write-off.

Be back when the ocean wakes up.
