Forward search is a little bit tricky at the moment with AUCTeX and
okular (with backward search I have never had any problems) due to a
current incompatibility between AUCTeX, synctex and okular, but
nevertheless this quick-fix (which I took from the okular bug tracker)
works for me since various months:

;; Quick-Fix BEGIN
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
            '(lambda ()
                 (add-to-list 'TeX-expand-list
                                  '("%u" Okular-make-url))))
(defun Okular-make-url ()
  (concat
   "file://"
   (expand-file-name (funcall file (TeX-output-extension) t)
                          (file-name-directory (TeX-master-file)))
   "#src:"
   (TeX-current-line)
   (expand-file-name (TeX-master-directory))
   "./"
   (TeX-current-file-name-master-relative)))
;; Quick-Fix END

(setq TeX-view-program-list
      '(("Okular"
       ("okular --unique %u")))) ;; <<-- This is part of the quick-fix.
                                 ;; If all is in sync again, one can
                                 ;; hopefully use the regular method
                                 ;; from the next line again.
       ;; ("okular --unique %o" (mode-io-correlate "#src:%n%b")))))

(setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-pdf "Okular")))
