The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, there’s nothing that’s really worth paddling out for. The only spot we’ve got to work with is Aiguaoliva, a reef break that’s a beginner-friendly wave, but it rarely breaks and the crowds do show up sometimes. The water is sitting at 85°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 6° above the long-term average, so that’s pretty unusual.
Right now, through the whole forecast period, the swell is tiny. The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak, barely cracking double digits at best – like 2 or 3 – and it doesn’t ever get into the moderate range. The biggest bit of energy we see is on the 22nd of August, with a combined energy of 40, but even then the swell height is only 2 ft from the SE with a period of 6 seconds. That’s short-period, weak stuff. The wind on the 22nd morning is a clean cross-off from the NNW at 12 mph, which is a positive, but the swell is just too small to get excited about.
From the 11th of August right through to the 26th, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations – the whole 16 days is a blank run. For a spot like this, where the consistency is already rare, a flat spell like this is more normal than not. The morning of the 21st of August sees a glassy 1 ft swell from the E with a period of 5 seconds and combined energy of 9, but that’s about as good as it gets, and it’s still not enough.
If you’re desperate, the 22nd of August morning is the standout – 2 ft from the SE at 6 seconds, clean cross-off wind from the NNW at 12 mph, and combined energy of 40. But even then, it’s weak, and it’s a reef break, so a short-period swell like that won’t shape up well. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the clean wind and tiny swell. There’s nothing here for beginners or experts – the swell never gets over 5 ft anyway. Longer-range stuff, like the 21st to 26th of August, is promising but still tiny, so don’t count on it.
Rusty.

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.
