Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got.
Gotta be honest, this one’s a tough stretch. There’s a long, dry spell from the start all the way through until the morning of Saturday the 12th. The swell is tiny, the winds are rubbish – cross or cross-onshore – and the surf quality is just poor. You’d be wasting your time.
Things finally perk up on the morning of Sunday the 12th at Ajo. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and that’s a beautiful thing. We’ve got a 5-foot swell rolling in from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy reads 489 (moderate), making it the strongest clean swell of the whole run. That’s your best shot. The water temp is 72°F, which is a whopping 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – very unusual, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty.
After that, the morning of Tuesday the 14th at Ajo also looks glassy, but the swell has dropped to 5 feet from the NW with a shorter 8-second period and lower energy (267). It’s a back-up option, but not the main event.
Then it’s pretty much back to flat and poor conditions for the rest of the period. So circle that Sunday the 12th morning at Ajo – it’s your one real highlight.
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.
