Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Ajo are looking pretty flat and quiet. It's a real bummer because this spot is usually a reliable little wave for beginners, but we're going to have a long stretch of nothing much to write home about.
The first week is basically a write-off. From Monday the 6th right through to Friday the 10th, we're looking at tiny surf with poor conditions. The swell is small, mostly around 0.7ft to 2ft from the NW, and the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, or onshore. It's just not worth paddling out.
Now, there is a tiny glimmer on Friday morning, the 10th of July. The wind goes glassy, and we get a little 2ft NW swell. The combined energy is weak (49), so it's small, but for a complete beginner, you might find a knee-high wave that's clean. It's a very ordinary option, but it's the only surfable wave in the whole outlook.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. We get a few days of small, weak NW swells, but the wind is always wrong – cross, cross-on, or onshore. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The second week is more of the same. We finally see a bump in swell on Monday the 20th, with 3ft from the NW, but the wind is still messy. The combined energy is a bit more noticeable (82), but with cross-shore winds, it's still going to be a bumpy, choppy mess.
The real tease comes right at the end of the forecast. On Tuesday the 21st of July, we get a 4ft NW swell with a combined energy of 272 (moderate wave energy). That's a real swell, but it's coming in with a rain shower and a stiff cross-onshore breeze. The setup will be too chopped up for a decent paddle session, and honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than a proper surf. It's a shame, because the size is there, but the wind is going to ruin it.
So, overall, there's no standout session here. The only thing even close to a recommendation is that glassy Friday morning the 10th for the absolute beginners. For the rest of us, save your wax and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.

Information about the Ajo Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ajo provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ajo can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ajo 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 (Ajo) 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 Ajo 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.
