The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you straight for Abereiddy. For the first week, honestly, it’s a dry spell. Don’t bother paddling out unless you just want a scenic float.
From now through the morning of the 24th, there’s precious little. The swell is tiny and it’s mostly getting chopped up by onshore wind. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
A little bit of hope shows up on the afternoon of the 25th (Tuesday). We’ve got a 1.4m swell coming from the SW, but with a short 6-second period. The wind swings cross-offshore and goes light, so it’ll look clean. It’s surfable, but it’s just ordinary. Not a stand-out.
Hold out for the 29th of August. Saturday morning is the pick of the whole forecast. We’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the SW with a light offshore breeze out of the SE (moderate breeze). The combined energy is 112. Abereiddy is a fairly consistent beginner-friendly spot that faces the right direction. Since the wind is offshore and the conditions will be clean, this is the one window where it’ll really come together. Keep in mind, this spot can get crowded sometimes, so plan for that.
After that, things go downhill. The last few days of the forecast see a big swell build up to a massive 10ft on the 31st, with energy over 1400, but it's getting absolutely destroyed by strong cross-onshore winds. That much swell with that wind is just a washing machine, and it’s more of a kite-surfing situation than something you want to paddle out into. The period stays short, so there’s no long-period groundswell to make it worth the fight.
So, save your energy for the morning of Saturday the 29th. It’s the only real highlight in a pretty quiet two-week stretch.
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. Our Abereiddy surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Abereiddy) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
