The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about Abereiddy.
Honestly, mate, it's a tough watch for the next couple of weeks. We've got a long stretch of poor surf conditions on the cards, so don't be expecting much.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that really stands out as a proper session. The first real sniff of anything comes in on Friday afternoon, the 28th of August, with a weak 3ft swell but it's messy with onshore wind. The best of a bad bunch looks like it might be the Sunday and Monday (30th and 31st of August). Sunday morning we see 5ft of SW swell with clean conditions and a cross-offshore breeze, and the wave energy picks up a bit (286). Sunday afternoon bumps up to 6ft from the SW, still clean, with even more energy (392). But that’s pushing into a size that's pretty raw, especially for a beginner spot like this. The water's a touch warmer than average for the time of year at 64°F.
Then Monday the 31st of August has 6ft from the WSW but it’s onshore and choppy in the morning, so not ideal.
After that, it’s all downhill again. There’s a big gap with rubbish, weak swell until we get to Saturday, the 12th of September. But that day brings a 8ft WSW swell with a near gale blowing onshore. The energy is high (515 in the morning, 559 in the afternoon), but it'll be blown out and ugly. That’s expert-only territory or maybe even better for the kite surfers if you’re into that.
Frankly, for a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a poor run. If you’re desperate, the clean moments on the 30th and 31st of August are the only windows, but they aren't great. Take it easy.

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.
