Aja Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell ya what’s shakin’. Honestly, for the next 16 days? It’s a tough stretch. There’s a big ol’ gap with nothing worth paddlin’ for, so don’t even bother waxin’ up just yet. We’re lookin’ at a real dry spell before things get a pulse. From Wednesday the 19th of August all the way through to Friday the 28th of August, it’s mostly blown out or flat. Gonna be a long wait, but hang tight—there’s a glimmer on the horizon.

The only real standout in this whole outlook comes right at the tail end of August. We’re lookin’ at Aja—a super exposed reef break that doesn’t fire all that often, so when it does, you take notice.

Come Saturday the 29th of August, the morning has some life. Swell bumps up to about 6ft out of the NNW, period around 10 seconds. The wind is light from the south at just 6 mph, nearly glassy. That’s cross-off, so the lines should be clean and the shape has potential. Combined swell energy is sitting at 776 (moderate)—enough to push through. The water temp is about 84°, pretty normal for this time of year.

Then Saturday afternoon gets even sweeter. The swell drops a touch to around 5ft, still NNW, but the period stretches to 11 seconds. That’s a touch of groundswell energy. And here’s the kicker: the wind goes glassy—3 mph from the SSE, dead flat. That’s as clean as it gets for Aja. Combined energy is 623 (moderate). For a spot that’s inconsistent and often needs the stars to align, this is your window. It might not be huge, but the quality will be there.

Best on offer: Saturday the 29th of August, afternoon. Light winds, clean lines, and a rare opportunity at a break that doesn’t always deliver. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.

Stay patient. Rusty.
