Table - best surf conditions forecast for Aberaeron over the next 16 days.
Rusty here. Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days from July 8 through July 23 are a total write-off for surfing at Aberaeron. The guidance file lists this spot as inconsistent, and boy does it live up to that. Every single forecast period shows poor surf conditions, with zero scores across the board. There’s just no swell to speak of – heights barely tickling 0.3 ft to 2 ft, mostly from the west or northwest, and the combined energy is almost always less than 10 (weak). Winds are all over the place but never really favourable for holding up what little bump there is. A few mornings do have glassy or clean conditions, like the 8th morning with glassy 0.3 ft, but that’s more of a paddle around than a surf. The best you’ll see is 2 ft on Saturday afternoon July 11 with a moderate cross-shore – but still poor surf quality. Honestly, if you’re thinking of a surf trip here, don’t. This kind of blank run is pretty normal for Aberaeron given its inconsistent nature. Forecasts can change, but with nothing on the horizon, I’d say look elsewhere or save your energy. 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.
