Aoura Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Aoura.

Right now, the start of the period is a bit of a flat, quiet stretch. There’s a little bump of swell on Saturday the 12th, but it’s only 2ft from the east with a weak cross breeze and poor conditions – not worth paddling out for.

Things start to turn by Sunday the 13th. The swell pushes up to 3ft from the east-southeast, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, the surface cleans up nicely. It’s only a small wave, but it’s rideable and clean. The water’s sitting at around 82°, which is bang on normal for this time of year.

Monday the 14th sees a little more size, 4ft from the east-southeast, but the period drops to 8 seconds – short period windswell. Still, the morning offers clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze. That’s a fun little window if you’re itching for a paddle.

Tuesday the 15th is the real standout early on. Glassy conditions in the morning with a 4ft swell from the east-southeast, period up to 9 seconds. Combined wave energy hits 300 (moderate energy). It’s smooth, clean, and you’ll be surfing solo if you get out early. This is the pick of the first week.

Wednesday the 16th holds similar size at 3ft, also clean in the morning, but the wind gets a bit more lively by afternoon. Still solid for a dawny.

Then things go downhill. From Thursday the 17th onward, the wind builds steadily. Friday the 18th sees 7ft from the east, but cross-shore winds at 19 mph make it a lumpy, choppy mess. By Saturday the 19th, the swell jumps to 8ft, and then Sunday the 20th it hits 13ft from the east-southeast with 15-second groundswell. That’s a lot of energy (7139), but the cross-off wind is still fresh at 22 mph – marginal at best. This is big, powerful, clean-ish but tricky. Not for the faint-hearted. If you’re an expert looking for a serious push, maybe worth a look Sunday morning, but the afternoon gets blown out.

Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd are massive – up to 20ft with near gale force winds. That’s not surfable. That’s survival. The beach breaks will be closed out, and the reef will be a washing machine. More of a kite or tow-in scene if anything.

After that, the swell drops off fast. By Wednesday the 23rd, we’re back to 3ft, but the wind swings westerly and cleans things up slightly. The rest of the week into the 27th stays small – 1ft to 3ft – with light breezes and not much energy. A few mornings might offer a tiny clean wave if you’re desperate, but it’s pretty ordinary.

So for the whole 16-day window, the best call is Tuesday the 15th morning. Glassy, chest-high, clean, and nobody around. Sunday the 13th morning is a close second for a smaller, cleaner start. The big stuff later is only for the brave, and even then, conditions are marginal.

Until next time,
Rusty
