Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next 16 days at Aberdeen are looking like a real flat spell. We've got a long stretch of nothing worthwhile, so don't be in a rush to grab your board.

For the first week, from Friday July 10th to the end of the following week, it's a poor run of surf. The energy is just not there, with the combined swell energy barely hitting double digits (6) on the best of the small days. We're talking tiny, weak windswell with short periods, mostly under 4 to 7 seconds. The wind is a constant problem too, mostly cross or cross-onshore, even when it's light. The water temp is about average for the time of year. There's a glimmer of hope on the morning of Tuesday July 14th, with a glassy surface and a tiny 1 ft swell from the NE, but it's still poor surf with minimal energy (14). It's really not worth the paddle.

The second week doesn't offer much hope either. There's a couple of days where the wind goes cross-offshore, like on the morning of Saturday July 18th, with a 3 ft swell from the NNE and a clean surface. But the period is still short at 5 seconds, and the energy is weak (47). It's a beach/groyne/river setup, so that short period swell won't be doing much. For the rest of the run, from July 19th onward, it's mostly flat and clean. There's nothing to get excited about here.

Truth be told, this is one of those blank runs that's fairly normal for the area. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it. But for now, there's no standout, no best on offer. Just a waiting game.

Rusty.

Information about the Aberdeen Surf forecast

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