Aviones Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s cooking for Aviones over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat stretch. There’s no real standout session across the whole 16-day run, and the early part of the period is dead quiet. The wave heights are tiny and the wind is almost always cross-shore, so the surf just doesn’t have any quality. The first time things look halfway interesting is on the 1st of September, and even that’s marginal.

The water temp is 29°, which is normal for this time of year, so the water is nice and warm – no wetsuit needed.

From Sunday the 23rd all the way through the end of August, it’s poor. Winds are cross-shore from the east around 15-16 mph, with swell rarely cracking 3 feet and periods mostly in the 5-8 second range. The combined energy is weak, often below 100. The swell direction is mostly east or east-northeast, which is not the north direction the reef likes best, so the waves don’t shape up well.

The only window worth noting is Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon. Swell climbs to about 5 feet from the east-northeast, period hits 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 451 – that’s moderate energy. The wind turns cross-off from the east-southeast at around 16 mph, which should keep things clean. It’s still only a marginal call, not a classic day, but if you’re itching, that’s your best shot. Leading up to it, from the 31st of August morning through the 1st of September morning, there’s a long-period groundswell (periods of 13-14 seconds) with strong energy readings between 267 and 455, but the cross-shore wind ruins it. That energy is wasted.

After the 1st, it’s back to the same old: small swell, cross-winds, and moderate energy in the 100-280 range. Nothing to get excited about. By the 6th and 7th of September, mornings clean up a little with cross-off breezes, but swell drops to 2 feet or less with weak energy. A long wait for very little.

For beginners, the size is safe, but the quality is just not there. There’s no session where everything lines up. Your best bet is the afternoon of Tuesday the 1st of September – that’s your one chance for something reasonably clean with a bit of punch. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
