Alright, I'm gonna level with you. The 16-day picture for Ajo is a bummer. We're talking a whole lot of small, chopped-up surf and hardly any windows where it all comes together.
The one bright spot is on Friday morning, July 3rd. The swell is small, about 3ft from the Northwest. But the wind? Dead calm. Glassy as a lake. That is going to make those little waves look like gold. The swell is coming from far away with a 12-second period (combined energy 264), so it'll have some shape. This is the one to pencil in.
After that, it's a desert. The wind swings around onshore and turns everything into a wind-blown mess. You'll see pulses of small stuff – 2ft to 3ft – but with a cross-shore chop, it's not going to be fun. The water temp is a weird 72°, way warmer than usual, but with no waves, who cares.
Saturday morning, July 11th is the next tiny flare-up. Swell hits 3ft from the NNW with a 12-second period (combined energy 233). The wind is cross-shore but light, so it won't be a total disaster. It's the second-best call of the whole forecast, but that's not saying much.
Sunday morning, July 12th pushes up to 4ft from the NNW (combined energy 240), but the wind is onshore and it's looking pretty marginal.
From the 3rd to the 11th, there's over a week of flat, ugly conditions. Bring a book.
Your play is the clean, glassy Friday morning on the 3rd. It'll be small and clean. The rest of the time? I'd find something else to do.
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.
