Abereiddy Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, gather 'round. Rusty here, and I've got to be straight with you—this stretch for Abereiddy is looking like a tough one. We've got a 16-day window, but honestly, there's no standout session to get excited about. The forecast is pretty much a long, blank run of mediocrity.

Let's start with the overall picture. The water temperature is sitting at about 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's a small comfort, but not much else is.

The first real chance of any surf isn't until Friday, August 14th, and even then it's a sad affair. We're looking at a 2 ft swell from the WSW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is a cross-on from the north at 12 mph, so it's going to be choppy and not worth paddling out. The combined energy is a weak 37. This pattern of poor conditions just keeps rolling on.

Saturday the 15th, Sunday the 16th, Monday the 17th—it's all the same story. Tiny, weak swells, often under 2 ft, with cross or onshore winds. The energy is pathetic, rarely cracking 100. There's a glassy moment on Sunday morning, but the swell is only 0.7 ft, so you're just floating around.

We get a bit of a pulse on Wednesday, August 19th. The afternoon builds to a 6 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 271, which is moderate. But here's the kicker—the wind is a cross-shore from the SW at 22 mph. That's a fresh breeze, lumpy cross-chop. It's windy, messy, and difficult. This could be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers. Thursday the 20th has a similar energy at 136, but again, the wind is onshore and fresh.

The second week doesn't offer any redemption. From the 21st to the 29th, we see a few cleaner moments, like on the 23rd with a cross-offshore breeze and a long period of 14 seconds, but the swell is only 1 ft. That's barely a ripple. The energy is weak, in the 30s and 40s. There's a bit more size on the 28th, with a 5 ft swell, but the wind is onshore and the energy is strong at 295, so it's just a messy, blown-out option.

The very end of the run, on Saturday the 29th, shows a 2 ft swell with a very long period of 16 seconds, but it's cross-shore wind and a weak energy of 179. Not worth the drive.

So, to sum it up: Abereiddy is a break that's fairly consistent, but it's going through a barren spell. There's no standout day. The only real highlight, if you can call it that, is the Wednesday afternoon pulse on the 19th, but the wind ruins it. For a beginner-friendly spot, the conditions are just not cooperating. Keep an eye on it, but I wouldn't be rushing for the wetsuit this fortnight.

Rusty.
