Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Aoura – the one spot that matters in this stretch. It’s a reef break for advanced surfers, and it's inconsistent, so don’t expect it to be pumping all the time. When it is, it’s a special wave.
The first couple of days are a write-off. Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th have swell building from 4ft up to 8ft, with a long period around 17 seconds on the 8th. But the wind is cross or cross-onshore, and the surface is chopped up. The combined swell energy is huge – from 529 up to 3128 – so there’s plenty of power, but it’s messy.
Thursday the 9th is the big one for size – 10ft of SE swell, 16-second period, energy at 3654. But again, cross-onshore wind at 15 km/h. It’s a heavy, expert-only wave, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. With the wind and the reef, this could be more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle-out session. Crowds can show up here often, but I think they’ll be thin in that chop.
Then we hit a massive flat gap. From Friday the 10th all the way through to Monday the 14th, the swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft – and energy is well below 100. The wind does go glassy on Monday the 13th morning and Tuesday the 14th morning, but there’s simply no ocean to surf. You’d be floating.
Now, the real standout arrives Wednesday the 15th morning. Glassy conditions, 3ft of ESE swell at 11 seconds, energy at 269 – moderate but solid. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the cleanest window we get. The water is 79° – a bit colder than usual for the season, so maybe a thin wetsuit or just boardies. That morning session is the one to aim for.
After that, the second week is hit-or-miss. Thursday the 16th through Sunday the 19th sees more swell, including a 10ft pulse on Saturday the 18th afternoon with 11-second period and 1895 energy, but the wind is cross-shore and bumpy. Not ideal. By Monday the 20th, it’s 6ft but the wind is 20 km/h and messy. The end of the outlook, from the 21st onward, is just strong wind and poor surf.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is Wednesday the 15th morning – glassy, clean, and fun-sized. Thursday the 9th is for big-wave hunters who don’t mind chaos. Aoura’s inconsistent nature means these long flat spells are normal. Forecasts can always improve, but right now, it’s all about that one Wednesday morning.
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.
