The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
It's a slow start for Aoura, a reef break that's only for the advanced crew. We've got a bit of a wait before anything decent shows up. The first few days are a write-off, with a stormy Saturday and lumpy, cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The water's sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year.
The real story starts to unfold on Tuesday, August 11th. That morning, the wind goes glassy, and we get a 4ft easterly swell with a nice 12-second period. The energy is moderate (414), and it's the first time we've got clean conditions. It's not huge, but for a spot that's inconsistent, this is a proper window of opportunity. The wind stays light, so get in the water Tuesday morning before the wind picks up.
Looking further ahead, there's a standout session brewing for Sunday, August 16th. Another glassy morning, this time with a building 6ft easterly swell. The period is a solid 11 seconds, and the energy is strong (822). Conditions are looking very good. The following Monday morning, August 17th, is also a cracker, with clean, glassy conditions and a 5ft swell from the east at 13 seconds (816 energy). For a spot that rarely fires, these two mornings are the ones to circle.
After that, the swell drops off fast. We're looking at a long stretch of small, messy surf from the 18th right through to the end of the forecast. A few little pulses on the 23rd, but nothing to get excited about.
So, to sum it up: the best of the lot is the glassy morning on Sunday, August 16th, with Monday, August 17th running a very close second. Don't sleep on Tuesday, August 11th either, as it's the first clean surf we'll see. The rest of the period is a waiting game.
Rusty.

Information about the Aoura Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Aoura provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aoura can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aoura 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 (Aoura) 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 Aoura 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.
