Right, Rusty here for the lowdown.
We’re lookin’ at a long, slow period at Aja (Cabo San Lucas). This is a reef break that only rarely gets a wave, and for the first two weeks of this outlook it’s flat as a pancake or kickin’ up less than 1 ft with nothing behind it. Most days the wind is howlin’ or cross-shore, and there’s just no energy. The water’s a warm 82°, pretty normal for this time of year, so it’s a swim spot more than a surf spot.
Then on Friday the 17th of July, finally, a tiny 2 ft pulse from the E shows up with a 9-second period. The combined energy is still weak (53 to 61), but the wind turns glassy and offshore – that’s rare and special here. For an inconsistent spot that rarely offers a thing, you might get a few clean, slow little reef rollers. Crowds are only sometimes and with waves this small you’ll likely have it to yourself.
Saturday the 18th is the same story – 2 ft, glassy, east swell. That’s your best bet. After that, the wind shifts and the energy fades, so don’t sleep on that Friday and Saturday window. The rest of the outlook is a bust: small, windy, stormy. It’s a tight window, but sometimes that’s the only game in town.

Information about the Aja Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Aja provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aja can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aja 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 (Aja) 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 Aja 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.
Aja is 4 km (2 miles) from the city of Tomigusuku. If you plan a holiday in Okinawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Tomigusuku. Tomigusuku has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
