The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s coming for Aoura.
We start off with a bit of a flat spell. The first few days are messy – cross-shore winds and choppy conditions, not much to get excited about.
The real standout hits this coming Sunday, September 20th. That morning you’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the east, with a 13-second period – proper groundswell, and the combined energy is pumping at 2796. Winds are light and cross-off from the north, keeping things clean. This is for experienced surfers only – that size at a reef break like Aoura is no joke. Water temp is 82°, about normal for this time of year.
Monday the 21st is the one I’m really looking at. Morning glass-off – zero wind from the west-northwest – with a 7ft east swell at 12 seconds. Combined energy is 1425. That’s going to be a magic session if you’re out there. Still big enough to demand respect.
After that, the swell drops fast. Tuesday the 22nd down to tiny 2ft waves, and then we hit a long flat stretch. From the 22nd through the 26th, it’s mostly knee-high or smaller, light winds but no power. Not worth suiting up.
There’s a late hopeful window – Sunday, September 27th morning shows a 5ft southeast groundswell with a long 13-second period and light cross-off wind from the west. Combined energy is 807. It’s promising, but it’s over a week out, so keep an eye on it.
Best of the whole forecast? Monday the 21st morning. Glassy, clean, 7ft east swell – that’s as good as it gets around here.
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.
