The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and sad for the region, so don't get your hopes up too high. The swell window just isn't lining up for us, and we're in for a long stretch of tiny waves and onshore junk. We're talking a serious dry spell that runs from now through most of the coming week. It’s a real bummer.
We start off with nothing on Sunday the 16th. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th stay poor, with weak, short-period swell barely scratching 3 feet and messy winds. Wednesday the 19th picks up a touch of energy, but the wind is howling onshore and it'll be lumpy and closed out. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st keep the trend – small, messy, and not worth your time. Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are a write-off too, with cross-off winds but just nothing behind them. Really, we're looking at a full week to ten days of not much.
There is a tiny glimmer of hope right at the end. The morning of Thursday the 27th is glassy and clean, but there’s no swell at all. Then, on the afternoon of the 27th, it looks like the ocean’s finally going to wake up. We see some cross-off wind and a little bump appearing. The energy is still weak, but at least it’s `surfable`.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Friday the 28th. The conditions look the cleanest we'll see all fortnight, with a fresh offshore wind reported. The swell kicks up to `6 ft` from the WSW, with moderate energy (402). It’s still short-period stuff, around 9 seconds, so it won’t be world-class, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. Because it’s over `5 ft`, it might be a bit much for the beginners at Abereiddy, but it's the only real window we have. It’s a week and a half away, so treat it as a promising maybe, not a guarantee.
After that, it looks like it backs off again into the following weekend. There's a chance of a little pulse on the 30th, but it’s accompanied by more onshore wind and chop. So, if the Friday morning forecast holds, that’s your one chance to get wet. Otherwise, get the fishing gear out.
Stay salty.

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.
