Aoura Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Aoura has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s some serious potential hiding in the back half if you're patient.

First off, the water's sitting at a comfortable 82°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We kick things off on Sunday the 13th with some small, clean waves. Morning looks the pick with a 3ft ESE swell, light cross-off wind, and decent energy in the water (252). It’s not gonna blow your mind, but it's a nice start. The afternoon gets a bit smaller and turns cross-on, so not as good.

Monday the 14th morning is a solid little window. Swell bumps up to 4ft from the ESE with a light cross-off breeze. It’s clean and rideable. The afternoon gets messy with an onshore change and the risk of a storm.

Now, Tuesday the 15th morning is where the first real standout lives. The wind goes glassy—dead calm—and we get a clean 5ft ESE groundswell with a 10-second period. The energy is solid (327) and conditions are glassy. This is the best early call of the forecast. If you can get out there, this is your window.

The rest of the first week gets a bit choppy and inconsistent. Wednesday through Friday are all small and a bit lumpy, with cross-shore winds and lower energy. Not worth paddling out for.

Saturday the 19th is a big red flag for Aoura. The swell jumps up to 7ft with a very long 16-second period, and then 12ft on Sunday. The energy readings are massive (3996 on Saturday, 6558 on Sunday). The wind is howling strong cross-shore, and the conditions will be a messy, lumpy mess. For a reef break like Aoura, that's just not going to be fun for paddle surfing. If you’ve got a kite, this setup might be more interesting.

Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd are just plain dangerous. We’re talking 20ft to 28ft ESE swells with massive energy (23180 to 24532). The report says it’s just too big for this break. Even for experts, this is a no-go. Avoid it.

After that madness, Wednesday the 23rd sees storm-force winds and a messy swell. Not your day.

The real gold is waiting for us on Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th. The swell drops back to a manageable 7ft to 8ft from the E, with a long 10 to 12-second period. The wind is light cross-off, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is still strong (around 1700-2500), and the morning sessions are forecast to be clean. This is your second standout window. The swell is solid, so it's not for beginners, but for anyone comfortable in overhead waves, this is where you want to be. The crowds can show up at Aoura, so get in early.

So to sum it up: we’ve got a slow start, a glassy gem on Tuesday the 15th, a big windy mess in the middle, and then a very promising, clean, solid swell at the end of the period. Patience is key.

Rusty.
