Aoura Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your wettie, let’s have a look at what’s coming our way over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this isn’t a classic stretch for Aoura. We’ve got a bit of a rough start and then some quieter days later on. The water’s sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so no surprises there.

For the first few days, it’s a bit of a write-off, if I’m being honest. Saturday the 5th kicks off with a solid 8ft swell from the ENE, but that 25 mph NE crosswind is gonna shred it to bits. You’re looking at messy cross-chop and a combined energy that’s moderate at best (638). Not one for the board.

Sunday the 6th actually sees the swell build – we’re talking 8ft to 12ft from the E with a 10-second period, and the wind turns cross-offshore from the NNE at 28 mph. The waves will be clean, but that’s a lot of energy (893 to 2224) and with the size hitting over 8ft, this is strictly for the experienced crew. The reef at Aoura will hold it, but it’s pushing into expert-only territory.

Monday the 7th morning still has some size at 8ft from the NE, period 10 seconds, and cross-off breeze. The energy is still very strong (2185), but the surf forecast is calling it marginal – likely a tough combo of size and maybe tricky tides. By the afternoon, it drops to 5ft, but still not the best quality.

We get a bit of a lull through Tuesday and Wednesday, with waist-to-chest high waves in the 4ft to 5ft range, but the winds are messy and the energy drops off. Wednesday morning the 9th has a moment of hope – a 5ft swell from the ESE, light N wind at 6 mph creating clean, cross-off lines, and the forecast says “good surf conditions”. It’s not huge, but it’s the best of a rough patch.

Honestly, the real standout – and I mean the only one worth circling on your calendar – is Wednesday the 16th morning. We get a glassy 3ft swell from the ESE with the wind going completely dead from the NW, just 3 mph. That’s glass-off conditions, and the energy is low (252), but for a clean, fun little session on the reef, that’s your window. It’s small and clean, and that’s a rare combo here.

After that, we’re into a long, slow fade. From the 17th onwards, the swell drops below 3ft, the energy gets weak (under 200, and by the 20th down to 55), and the winds are either onshore or variable. There’s really nothing to recommend for a proper surf after that first standout. You’d be looking at flat spells from the 18th to the 20th.

So to wrap it up: don’t bother fighting the wind and size early on unless you’re an advanced charger. Wednesday the 9th morning is a sneaky good call for a clean small-wave session. But the real highlight – the one to save the dates for – is that glassy Wednesday morning on the 16th. After that, it’s board bags and beach walks.
