Alright, this is Rusty. Let's take a look at what's coming up for Aoshima.
Right now, and for the next few days, it's pretty quiet out there. We've got small swell through the start of July, with waves barely pushing knee-high, so don't expect much. The water is sitting at 77°, which is actually a bit colder than what we'd normally expect for this time of year – close to two degrees off, so you might want a light spring suit.
The real action doesn't start stirring until the morning of Tuesday, July 7. That's when a solid pulse of groundswell arrives from the ESE, picking up to 4ft with a long 15-second period. Combined swell energy is moderate at 897, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. That's a setup that'll have Aoshima looking clean with proper lines. This is the morning session to aim for if you want the best conditions of the first week.
Things get serious from Wednesday, July 8 onward, but it's not for everyone. The swell jumps to 10ft from the SE, with a very long 18-second period, and combined energy is strong at 5429. That kind of size and power is for experienced surfers only – beginners should stay well clear. The onshore winds on Wednesday and Thursday will chop it up, so Saturday the 12th might be a better window as the swell drops back to 6ft with cleaner sideshore winds.
Moving into the second week, the standout morning is Friday, July 17. That morning we're looking at 13ft of SE swell, super long 16-second period, and glassy conditions. Combined swell energy is a massive 7964 – that's very strong. This is for experts only, but if you've got the skill, it's going to be absolutely pumping. The afternoon, however, the swell jumps to 20ft and gets messy with cross-shore winds; that's just too big for this spot.
Overall, the best bet for a good session is Tuesday, July 7 morning if you want manageable, clean waves. For the big-wave crew, lock in Friday, July 17 morning.
Rusty.

Information about the Aoshima Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Aoshima provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aoshima can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aoshima 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 (Aoshima) 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 Aoshima 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.
Aoshima is 14 km (9 miles) from Miyazaki-shi. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Miyazaki-shi. Miyazaki-shi has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
