The Lowdown
Alright, let’s run through it in feet and knots.
Abereiddy starts off quiet – a long stretch from the beginning with hardly anything worth a paddle. The first few days are tiny and messy, with wind mostly cross or onshore.
Then Friday, August 28th, the morning shows some promise: about 5ft of SW swell, period around 8 seconds, light offshore wind from the SSE. That’s clean. The combined energy is 286 (moderate). It’ll be rideable for beginners or those looking for a mellow session, but the swell direction isn’t the ideal WSW. The window is short – by afternoon the wind goes cross-onshore and the waves get choppy.
The weekend brings strong onshore winds and bigger, messier surf – over 7ft with lumpy conditions. That’s more of a kiteboarding scene than a paddle session.
Monday, August 31st, there’s a lull: about 3ft of SW swell in the morning, light offshore wind, clean. Combined energy 158 (weak). By the afternoon it turns glassy and a small 3ft wave from the north shows up – nothing special, but if you’re patient you might snag a couple.
Then another quiet gap until Thursday, September 3rd. That morning, a 7ft WSW swell shows up, combined energy 363 (moderate), clean cross-off winds. That’s big – really only for experts. The period is short (7 seconds) so expect dumpy, fat waves. Friday, September 4th morning is a bit more manageable: 6ft, clean cross-off wind, combined energy 286 – surfable but soft.
After that, the forecast turns windy and rough again. Water temp is average for this time of year.
The best bet? Friday, August 28th morning – clean, small, and glassy. Not a classic, but the pick of a lean run.

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.
