Table - best surf conditions forecast for Arue Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Arue Beach.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a real struggle. There’s a big gap of nothing worth paddling out for from now until the morning of Monday, July 13th. That’s a solid stretch of tiny, choppy, or blown-out junk. Don’t bother.
Monday, July 13th, is the first time we see a glimmer of hope. The morning brings a small pulse from the WSW at 3ft, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 133. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW at 9 mph, which keeps the surface clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Think small, slow waves for the intermediate crew. The afternoon drops off even more, with 2ft and clean conditions but barely any push.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums. Tuesday, July 14th, through the rest of the week is a series of tiny, weak swells, mostly under 1ft, with no real energy (energy readings in the low teens and single digits). The wind stays clean, but you can’t ride what isn’t there. By Friday, July 17th, the wind cranks offshore from the SSE at 19-22 mph, but the swell is just 0.7ft with a long 15-second period. That’s a classic case of “fresh offshore and clean, but nothing to catch.” Hard to paddle into, and just not worth the effort.
The second week is more of the same. From July 18th onward, we’re looking at persistent trade winds from the east and southeast, 9 to 25 mph, with swell heights barely scraping 1ft to 3ft. The energy is weak, mostly between 2 and 43. The waves are clean but tiny. The one small bump on the morning of July 26th shows 3ft from the NNE, but with a short 5-second period it’s just a messy, weak windswell. Not a standout.
Honestly, there’s no true standout here. The best on offer is the Monday morning of the 13th, and it’s still just “surfable but very ordinary.” If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your window. The rest of the time, it’s a flat spell with clean but empty water. For a spot like this, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.

Information about the Arue Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Arue Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Arue Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Arue Beach 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 (Arue Beach) 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 Arue Beach 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.
