Oaro Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here talkin’ about what’s cookin’ at Oaro.

Water’s sittin’ right on normal at 10°, so no surprises there. Let’s get into the week ahead.

It gets started on Thursday afternoon, the 13th. Glassy flat calm, a tiny 3ft of short-period ENE swell. The energy’s weak (226), so it’s all about that clean surface for a little fun on a small board. Nice to just paddle out.

Friday the 14th morning has a smaller 2ft wave with glassy conditions but real weak energy (123). Afternoon turns onshore and messy – pass on it.

Saturday the 15th morning is a weird one: a tiny 1ft wave on a super long 17-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell for a beach, so it’ll break straight, and the energy is only moderate (168). Glassy wind keeps it tidy for a log, though. Afternoon gets to 3ft but with a cross-shore, so it’s just okay.

Sunday the 16th starts to get interesting. That morning shows a 7ft southerly swell with strong moderate energy (717) and a 9 mph cross-offshore breeze. That’ll be clean and punchy, but at 7ft it’s pushin’ into intermediate territory, and the period is short (8s), so it’ll be a bit lumpy but fun if you want juice. Afternoon drops to 6ft, still clean.

Monday the 17th is a real winner. Morning glass is clean offshores with a 3ft SSW groundswell on a beautiful 15-second period. Energy is strong (674) – proper groundswell. Real shape and power, and those long lulls make paddlin’ easy. The afternoon holds at 6ft with a clean cross-off.

Now, the clear standout: Wednesday morning, the 19th. We’ve got 5ft of southerly swell with a *very* long 16-second period. The combined energy is huge at 2085 – that’s serious power. The wind is a light offshore cross-off, keepin’ it clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers – the size is manageable but that period makes every wave pack a punch. Circle this one.

The run keeps goin’. Thursday the 20th morning brings 5ft of 12-second groundswell with glassy conditions and good energy (712) – another cracker. Friday the 21st morning is glassy again with 4ft of long-period 14-second swell (586 energy) – real clean and fun.

The second week trails off a bit. The weekend looks smaller, with some 2ft to 3ft waves, but the wind mostly stays friendly. Tuesday the 25th afternoon picks up a little with 5ft of NE windswell and a clean offshore breeze.

Heads up: Sunday the 23rd afternoon has a nasty 19 mph cross-offshore wind – that one’s a mess. Thursday the 27th is onshore and choppy, so skip it.

So, your top call is Wednesday morning the 19th – big groundswell, clean, and powerful. Monday morning the 17th and Thursday morning the 20th are also excellent. The rest is either too small or a bit average, but get out there when it’s glassy and you’ll have a good time.

Rusty, out.
