The Lowdown

Gap at the start, mate. Nothing but mush and bump for the first stretch. We’re looking at a blank run from Wednesday the 19th all the way through to Sunday the 24th. Swell’s tiny, wind’s all over the shop, and it’s just not doing anything for Aoura. You’d be wasting your time.

Then Monday the 24th rolls in, and the ocean starts waking up. By Tuesday the 25th, there’s a real pulse of energy coming through – we’re talking 7ft to 8ft of ESE groundswell with a 16-second period (2183 to 2730 energy). It’s big, it’s lined up, and the morning has that cross-off breeze keeping it clean. That’s the standout of the whole window, right there. It’s a reef break, Aoura (Aoura), and it’s exposed, so it’ll take the hit. This is advanced stuff – over 7ft is expert territory. If you’re not confident, sit this one out. But for the crew who know the line-up, Tuesday morning’s the call. Just check the tide – the notes say it’s questionable.

Wednesday the 26th is a write-off. Swell jacks up to 13ft to 16ft and the wind goes howling NE at 28 mph. Messy, dangerous, and not worth the paddle out. That’s a full-on washout.

Now, Thursday the 27th is interesting. Still 16ft of ESE swell, but the wind swings to a cross-off NNE, 16-19 mph, and it’s clean. This is big, powerful, and only for experts. The energy readings are huge – 8483 to 13444. It’s a beast of a day, but if you’ve got the stones and the skill, it’s going to be memorable. The period drops to 12-13 seconds, so it’s still got push, but it’s not the long-period groundswell of Tuesday.

After that, the quality falls off a cliff. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th are stormy, onshore, and lumpy. Swell drops back to 7-10ft but the wind’s tearing it apart. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are the same – windblown chop, no shape. Not worth a look.

Then there’s a tease on Tuesday the 1st of September. Swell swings back up to 7ft – 8ft from the ESE with a 16-second period (2386 to 2832 energy) and the wind goes light. The afternoon actually looks clean-ish, with just a gentle cross-shore. That could be okay for the advanced crew, but it’s nowhere near Tuesday the 25th.

The last kick is Wednesday the 2nd of September. It’s smaller, around 5ft, but the morning has WNW cross-off winds and clean conditions. Light breeze, clean lines. It’s a fun-sized option for the better surfers, but it’s not the big one.

Water temp’s sitting at 84°, which is about normal for this time of year – nothing weird there.

So bottom line: Tuesday the 25th is the pick of the bunch, with Thursday the 27th as the big-wave alternative for the hardcore crew. Everything else is either flat, stormy, or just messy. Aoura’s inconsistent, so this run of decent days is a gift – don’t sleep on it.

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.
