The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for the Abereiddy region is a bit of a desert. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim, with no real surf to get excited about. I'm talking flat, tiny waves and poor conditions from start to finish. There's a dry spell here where the swell is just not showing up, and when it does, it's weak and messy.
The water temperature at Abereiddy is sitting at 63°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year – nothing to write home about, just your standard summer warmth.
We kick off on Saturday, 1st August, with a tiny 1 ft swell from the WSW, period around 9 seconds, and a combined energy of just 31 – that's weak, barely a ripple. Wind is onshore from the WNW, making it a total write-off. This weak pattern continues through Sunday and Monday, with swell barely scraping 3 ft and the energy still low, in the 90s. By Tuesday, 4th August, we see a slight bump with 3 ft swell from the SW, but the period drops to 7 seconds and the wind is a moderate breeze from the SSW, so it's still a poor surf scenario. The next few days, Wednesday through to Sunday, 16th August, are a mix of tiny swells (0.3 ft to 2 ft) and choppy, onshore winds. There's a brief moment of glassy conditions on Friday, 7th August, in the morning, but the swell is only 1 ft – not enough to even paddle for. The combined energy values are all under 200, mostly in the single digits or low teens, confirming the lack of any real wave energy.
Honestly, for a break that's fairly consistent, this blank run is a bit of a shocker. But with the swell direction mostly from the WSW and the wind never aligning cleanly, there's just nothing to recommend. If you're keen on a paddle, you're better off looking for a lake or a river mouth. The best I can say is that forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, store the boards and wait for a better window.
Rusty.

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

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 Abereiddy 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.
