Aoura Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Aoura. This is a reef break, so it’s got that in-built structure, but it’s inconsistent and often crowded, so you’ve got to pick your moments. The next week and a half is a real mixed bag.

Right now, we’re looking at a pretty flat and messy start. The combined energy is weak (53) and the swell is tiny at 2ft, coming from the east with a short period of 10 seconds. The wind is cross-on and it’s choppy. Not worth the paddle.

The next few days don’t get much better. We’ve got a bump in energy on Sunday the 23rd morning (100) with a clean cross-off wind, but the swell is still only 2ft. It’s surfable but ordinary. Monday the 24th sees a big jump in energy (538) with a 6ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is cross-shore and messy. Conditions are marginal.

Things get properly wild from Tuesday the 25th with a 13ft SE swell and a combined energy of 9596, but the wind is howling cross-shore at 22 mph, making it a total mess. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. That trend continues through the week with big, stormy surf and strong onshore winds.

There’s a small window on Friday the 28th afternoon with a 5ft SE swell and a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate (631) but the wind is cross-shore, making it a bit of a gamble. The following weekend and into the start of September is a slow grind of small, choppy, or cross-onshore conditions.

Now, the real standout is shaping up for Wednesday, September 2nd. We’ve got a massive 18ft E swell rolling in with a long period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy is off the charts at 20929. The wind is a clean cross-off in the morning, and the forecast even says it’s clean. However, this is a reef break, and the swell is predicted to be too big for this spot. This is an expert-only, very serious session if you’re brave enough. The long period groundswell will be powerful, but it’s a risky call.

The next day, Thursday the 3rd, drops back down to a more manageable 8ft E swell, with clean cross-off wind again. The energy is still decent (1213), but the conditions are only marginal. The morning of Friday the 4th is the best of the rest with 4ft E swell, glassy wind, and a combined energy of 267. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun.

Overall, you’ve got to wait for that big swell on the 2nd of September, but be ready for it to be all-time huge and dangerous. The rest is a lot of waiting around for a clean, small wave.
