Aja Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for our local stretch.

Honestly, it's a bit of a flat and quiet spell ahead. The first good chunk of this outlook is a write-off, with tiny waves and poor conditions. We're looking at a long gap from now until the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. After that, things finally show a pulse, but it's not going to be anything to write home about for a while.

The water at Aja is running at 80°, which is a solid 4° colder than usual for this time of year. That's a notable chill, so you'll want a decent steamer.

We start seeing a slight glimmer of hope on the morning of Thursday, July 23rd. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the East, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind goes glassy in the morning, then light offshore in the arvo. The energy is weak (55). It's surfable, but just barely. The whole run from here on out is pretty marginal.

The best of this pretty average bunch looks like the morning of Saturday, July 25th. The swell is still small at 1 ft from the East, but the wind is a clean offshore from the ENE at 12 mph. The wave energy is very weak (15). It's a longboard-only sort of day, but the clean conditions will make it feel better than it looks.

On Monday, July 27th, a pulse of energy arrives. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the North, but there's a strong 28 mph offshore wind with a risk of thunderstorms. The energy is moderate (141). It's going to be a battle to get out, but those waves will be standing up on the reef. Later that arvo, the wind goes violent storm force at 65 mph and the swell jumps to 8 ft from the East with a period of 13 seconds, pumping out a massive 2843 energy reading. That's not for paddling, mate. That's survival. The entire week two period is a mix of messy, blown-out, or dangerous conditions. The wind is just too strong for any quality surfing.

So, the summary is simple: there's nothing here that's a standout. The best you'll get is a clean, tiny wave on the 25th, or a battle with the wind and a big, messy swell on the 27th. For the rest, it's a waiting game. It's a tough run for Aja.

Rusty.
