The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breaking down the next 16 days for Aoura. The first week is a total washout. From Saturday the 25th of July right through the end of the month, it’s flat. Tiny 1ft to 2ft swell with weak energy – combined energy is in the 30s and 40s – and the wave call is mostly “poor” or “ordinary.” Even the glassy mornings can’t make anything out of nothing.
The first sign of life is Monday the 3rd of August. The swell picks up to 3ft with a 12-second period and combined energy of 269, but it’s still marginal and the wind is light cross-onshore.
The big one, the real standout, is Wednesday the 5th of August. We’re talking a 12ft to 13ft easterly swell with a very long 18-19 second period. The combined energy is massive – 8366 to 10676. The wind is light cross-shore to cross-onshore. This is a serious groundswell, and with a period over 15 seconds, it’s going to be a powerful, heaving reef. At over 8ft, this is strictly for experts only. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Thursday the 6th of August is even bigger – 16ft to 18ft – but it’s predicted to be too big for the break. That’s a hard pass.
After the big stuff, Friday the 7th of August morning offers a cleaner 4ft easterly swell with a 12-second period, combined energy of 368, and a light cross-offshore wind. The wave comment is “expect good surf conditions.” That’s a nice window for the experienced crew, but it’s a one-morning deal.
The rest of the second week into the 9th of August goes back to small, weak, and onshore junk. The 9th has a 10ft swell but it’s short period, so it’s a chop fest.
So, for the best session, lock in Wednesday the 5th of August if you’re an expert. For a cleaner, smaller wave, the Friday morning on the 7th is your best bet.
Rusty out.

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.
