The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the lowdown on what we’re looking at over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water temperature at Aoura is sitting at about 84°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The outlook starts this Monday, the 24th of August, and honestly, it’s a bit of a slow burner. Monday morning is pretty marginal with a 3ft east-southeast swell and a short 13-second period, but the cross-on wind from the east-northeast makes it choppy. The combined energy is moderate (424). Monday afternoon picks up a bit more size to 7ft, but the cross-on wind picks up too, making it messy.
Tuesday, the 25th of August, is where things get interesting. The morning has a solid 12ft southeast swell, but it’s a long-period groundswell at 15 seconds. That much energy (5296) is going to be powerful, and with an 12ft height, this is only for experienced surfers. The wind is cross-offshore from the north-northeast, which actually cleans it up nicely. The only issue? This is a reef break and it’s inconsistent, so you’ll need patience. The optimum swell direction is northeast, so this southeast swell isn’t ideal, but it’s the biggest pulse we see. The afternoon stays big but the wind shifts to cross-shore, adding a bit of chop.
From Wednesday the 26th through the end of the 16-day forecast, the surf drops off significantly. Wednesday morning sees a 6ft easterly swell but with a short 9-second period and cross-on wind, it’s pretty poor. Energy drops to 769. After that, it’s a long stretch of very small waves, mostly under 3ft, with weak energy (often under 100-200) and onshore or cross-on winds. There’s a brief glassy moment on Monday the 31st of August at 2ft, but it’s too small to get excited about.
The only real standout here is Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. If you’re an advanced surfer and you can handle the size and inconsistency, that’s your window. The rest of the period is a write-off, with a long gap of flat or poor conditions from the 26th all the way through to the 8th of September.
So, keep your eyes on Tuesday morning, but don’t hold your breath for the rest.
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.
