Aoura Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for Aoura.

Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the next 16 days are lookin’ pretty flat and uninspiring for the most part. There’s some small to moderate swell arriving, but the real killer is the timing and the conditions. Let’s get into it.

The first bit of action we see is on Monday the 10th of August. The afternoon brings some chest-high waves, around 5 ft, rolling in from the east. The combined energy’s moderate at 603, and the water’s warm at 84°, which is about average for this time of year. But the wind is a cross-shore from the ENE at 9 mph, which is gonna put a little chop on the face. It’s surfable, but nothin’ to write home about.

Tuesday the 11th of August morning is a bit of a tease. The swell drops a touch to 4 ft, still from the east, but oh man, the wind goes glassy. Light NNE breeze at 3 mph. That would be clean, but the rating’s still low because the swell’s just not got that punch. The energy’s down to 407. It’s a classic case of “looks good, feels small.”

Wednesday the 12th of August morning is the closest thing to a standout in this whole outlook. You’ve got 4 ft of east swell, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 9 mph. The energy’s moderate at 299, and the longer period of 10 seconds means the waves will have a bit more shape. For a reef break like Aoura, that’s a decent combo. The crowds are possible here, so keep that in mind. This is the best session on offer, but it’s still not a barnburner.

From Thursday the 13th onward, it’s a slow fade. The swell drops to under 3 ft, and the winds go onshore or cross-onshore for most of the afternoons. The mornings are glassy, but the swell’s just too weak to do much – energy readings drop into the double digits (87, 68). It’s pretty much a flat spell from Thursday the 13th through to the weekend.

There’s a small pulse of energy around Monday the 17th of August morning, with 4 ft east swell and glassy conditions again. The energy climbs back to 302. But it’s a one-off, and the wind swings onshore by the afternoon. After that, the rest of the fortnight is a long, drawn-out stretch of tiny waves and poor conditions. Some days have wind and swell direction that might work for a kite, but not for a paddle.

Honestly, there’s a big gap of several days with no real recommendations. The only window that’s worth a look is that Wednesday the 12th of August morning. After that, you’re waiting ‘til the 17th, and even then it’s a short-lived hope. Long-range, the 25th of August morning shows a little spike in period (12 seconds) but the swell’s only 3 ft – too small to get excited about.

So, keep your expectations low. The surf’s not gonna be good for a while, but forecasts can change, and it doesn’t tend to stay this quiet forever.

Stay tuned,
Rusty.
