The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for Aoura.
First off, water temps are sitting at 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
To be honest, looking at the full forecast, the surf isn't setting the world on fire for Aoura. There is a serious pulse of energy coming through, but the conditions are going to make it tough to tap into. The real highlight is a big, powerful swell that rolls in around Sunday the 6th through Monday the 7th, and that's where you want to be if you're an experienced surfer.
Sunday Morning, September 6th: We've got a solid 10ft east swell with a moderate period of 9 seconds. The wind is a strong cross-offshore from the NNE, keeping things clean. The combined energy is a hefty 1180 (moderate to strong), so there's plenty of power. This is the start of the main event.
Sunday Afternoon: Swell bumps up to 11.5ft from the east, period extending to 10 seconds. Still clean with that strong cross-offshore NE wind. The energy jumps to 2508 – this is serious, powerful surf. This is only for the experts. It'll be heavy.
Monday Morning, September 7th: The peak of the swell holds at 10ft from the NE, with a 10-second period. The wind stays offshore from the NNE, but it's still a fresh breeze. The combined energy is a massive 3309 (strong to very strong). This is the biggest, most powerful window of the entire forecast. The water will be moving, and the rip will be strong. Definitely not for beginners.
For the rest of the 16-day window, it's pretty quiet. After Monday, the swell drops off fast. Tuesday the 8th has a few clean 4.3ft waves in the morning, but the energy is weak. Wednesday the 9th morning shows a brief moment of glassy conditions with a light 3.6ft swell from the SE, but the energy is still very low (269). After that, we're looking at a week or more of mostly small, weak surf with periods under 10 seconds and poor conditions, until a slight uptick around the 15th and 16th. The final few days from the 17th onwards are flat with tiny, weak swells and glassy conditions, but nothing worth paddling out for.
The Bottom Line: The standout is Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th. The swell is huge, powerful, and the wind will keep it clean. This is the only real show in town. It's big, it's grunty, and it's not to be taken lightly. For the average surfer, the rest of the forecast is a write-off.

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.
