Table - best surf conditions forecast for Aoura over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. We're lookin' at Aoura – a proper advanced reef break that's inconsistent as hell and often crowded, so don't expect an easy session. Water temps are sittin' at about 79.2°, a bit cooler than usual for this time of year – that anomaly of -2.2° means it's noticeably nippier than normal.
The forecast opens with a solid pulse from July 8th. Wednesday morning brings a 6.9ft SE groundswell with a long 17-second period, light cross-onshore breeze at 3 mph, and strong energy (2615). It's not glassy, but the wind's light enough that the cross-onshore won't wreck it completely. That morning looks like the best of the early window – decent size, long-period lines, and the reef will hold 'em. Afternoon turns a bit choppier with 9 mph wind and 7.9ft ESE swell. Thursday the 9th keeps the size up, 8.2ft to 9.8ft SE swell, but wind swings to cross-shore NE at 9–12 mph, so it'll be a bit lumpy. Still, big swell and long period (15s) mean power – but remember, this break is advanced and inconsistent, so only for the experienced.
Then we hit a flat spell. From Friday July 10th right through to Tuesday July 14th, it's tiny – 1.3ft to 2.6ft, short-period junk, cross-onshore winds, and weak energy (under 130). That's a solid 5-day stretch of nothing worth paddling out for. Don't bother.
Things start to creep up again from July 15th. Wednesday morning sees a 4.6ft ESE groundswell with 12-second period, moderate energy (579), and light cross-shore wind. It's still marginal, but at least there's some push. The next few days offer similar 4.3–4.9ft swell, but winds are mostly cross

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.
