The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Aileen's.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – for a spot as exposed and high-calibre as Aileen's, this forecast is a real heartbreaker. The water is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's not a letdown. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. We're looking at a solid 13-day gap where the swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft, and the energy is pathetic, with readings like 36 (weak energy) barely getting a whimper. The wind is a mixed bag of cross-off and cross-on, but with that little swell, it doesn't matter – it's all "poor surf conditions."

The whole thing doesn't start to twitch until Wednesday the 29th of July. That morning, we finally see a pulse of swell. The height jumps to 7ft from the WNW, with a combined energy of 708 (strong wave energy). The period is 9 seconds, so it's a bit of a short-period wind swell, but it's the biggest we've seen. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which will keep it from being pristine, but it's the only window with any real potential. The forecast says "marginal surf forecast," and honestly, for a wave this size at a heavy reef, it's not for the faint-hearted. That's expert territory – 7ft is well over the 5ft mark, so beginners need to stay well clear.

The afternoon of the 29th holds similar size at 7ft, but the wind swings onshore, and the energy drops to 573 (still strong). After that, it fades quickly back to tiny, messy junk on the 30th.

So, the one and only true standout here is the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. If you're an experienced surfer and you've been waiting for something, that's your window. It's not perfect, but it's the only game in town. For everyone else, it's a long wait for a very short, heavy session.

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.
