The Lowdown

Right folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Aileen's. I've got to be straight with you – it's a grim outlook. This is a slab of a wave, Aileen's (Ireland), but for the entire 16-day forecast, every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions. Nothing is breaking well, so we're in a dry spell.

The water is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the least of our worries.

Looking at the next week, from Wednesday the 15th to Tuesday the 22nd of July, the swell is tiny, barely scraping 1 ft. The combined energy is weak, in the 20 to 41 range. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which would normally be a positive, but with no meaningful swell to work with, it's just a tease. The swell is coming from the W and WSW, which is the right direction, but the period is short, between 8 and 11 seconds, and the size just isn't there. It's a complete no-go.

Then we roll into the second week, from Wednesday the 23rd of July onwards. There's a slight bump in size on the Wednesday the 30th, with the swell hitting 6 ft from the W, and the period drops to a short 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to 311 (moderate), but the problem is the wind. It's a fresh cross-onshore breeze from the WNW at 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. The rest of that week is onshore wind and poor quality, with swell never really getting clean. Even on the 30th, the size is too big for beginners at over 5 ft but the quality is so poor due to the wind, it's only for the keenest.

Honestly, if you're looking for a paddle, there's nothing here. The set-up with the onshore wind and growing swell in the second week might actually be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, as the conditions are more about chop and wind energy than clean waves.

There is no standout. We have a blank run that looks set to continue for the full 16 days. It's a tough one, but forecasts can change. For now, keep the board in the car and the wax in the cupboard.

Rusty.

Information about the Aileen's Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Aileen's provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aileen's can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aileen's 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 (Aileen's) 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 Aileen's 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.
