Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Aoura.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet overall. The first week and a half is really a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and wind that’s mostly either cross-on or onshore, which just isn’t going to produce anything rideable. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a slightly thicker spring suit.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday the 18th of July. The swell is still small at 3ft from the east, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is just 99 (weak). It’s a marginal call, but with a light cross-onshore breeze it might be just about enough for a grovel on a longboard. Don’t get your hopes up, though.
The best window we’ve got across the whole 16 days lands on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July. The swell picks up to 5ft from the east-northeast, with a period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 712 (strong wave energy). It’s still a marginal forecast, but the wind is a gentle cross-shore, and the break is a exposed reef. That’s the pick of the bunch. It’s a bit of a standout, but it’s only for advanced surfers—anything over 5ft can be too much for beginners, and this is a reef setup. The crowds are often a problem here, so you’ll have to earn your waves.
After that, things taper off again. The morning of Saturday the 25th of July brings a glassy, clean 2ft easterly swell (167 energy), but it’s ordinary and small. Honestly, for the whole 16 days, keep your expectations low. It’s a long blank run with only a couple of very marginal, half-decent moments.

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.
