Aoura Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Aoura.

Honestly, the next two-plus weeks are looking pretty flat for Aoura. There’s a real drought on the way – from now through to the end of July, we’re mainly staring at tiny, weak surf with poor conditions plaguing most sessions. It’s a tough run.

The only glimmers happen on Friday morning, July 17th. Early doors, the wind goes glassy, light off the west at 3 mph, and we get a tiny 2 ft easterly swell creeping in. The period is a short 10 seconds, so don’t expect much push, but at least the surface will be clean. The combined wave energy is a weak (69), so it’s really just small, soft, surfable waves. It’s not going to get the heart racing, but for a dawn session on a reef with an offshore wind, it’s the best we’ve got. It will be super ordinary, but glassy.

Saturday morning, July 18th, keeps that 2 ft easterly swell with a clean, cross-off breeze from the west at 6 mph. Still tiny, still very ordinary, but rideable.

Then we drop back into the doldrums. From Sunday, July 19th, right through to midday Monday, July 27th, the surf quality is consistently poor. We see a few more glassy mornings on July 20th, July 22nd, and July 21st, but the swell is barely a ripple – 2 ft to 2 ft – and the combined energy stays below 70. Just not worth paddling out for.

Late in the run, around July 27th and into July 29th, the swell actually builds. By Wednesday, July 29th, we get a 3 ft ESE swell with periods stretching from 11 to 13 seconds and the combined energy jumps to 253 to 325 – moderate energy finally showing up. But here’s the kicker: every single one of those days has onshore or cross-onshore winds (9 to 16 mph from the SSE to S), choppy, messy surface, and the forecast calls them “poor surf conditions.” The water is sitting around 81°F, and that’s about 2°F cooler than the seasonal norm, so pretty average for this time of year.

Bottom line: Aoura doesn’t have a single standout session in this outlook. The best you’ll get is a clean, tiny, glassy wave on the 17th morning. After that, it’s a long gap of flatness and wind-affected junk. The longer period swells at the end are let down by bad winds, and the break itself is inconsistent and exposed, so it’s just not coming together.

Stay patient, lads. These runs don’t last forever.

Rusty.
