Alright, Rusty here again, and we're looking at Aberaeron in feet and knots.
Let me tell you, the next sixteen days are a tough pill to swallow. There are no good surf options according to the finder, and the guidance backs that up. Aberaeron is an inconsistent beach and point setup, and a dry spell like this is pretty normal for the area. It tends to be feast or famine.
You’re looking at a big, empty gap for the first couple of weeks. The first and only sign of life pops up on Friday the 17th of July afternoon.
On that afternoon, we get a small pulse of swell at about 4ft from the WSW with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak (78). But look, the wind goes glassy—offshore from the WNW—which will leave the surface clean. It’s still a messy, short-period wave, though. Good enough for a grovel, but not what anyone would call a standout. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Overall, there’s nothing to get excited about in this 16-day window. Just one lonely, average day to save you from total cabin fever. Hang tight.
Rusty.

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