The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, taking a look at this 16-day stretch. Gotta be honest, it’s a bleak outlook for Aileen’s. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of, so don’t rush to wax up.
The first hint of anything like a wave shows up on Thursday, July 30th, but it’s a mess. There’s a 3ft swell from the WNW, but it’s short period, only 8 seconds, and a cross-on wind is just chopping it all up. The combined energy is weak (137). The water temp is 62°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it. The rest of that week is a write-off. Friday, July 31st, is more of the same – onshore wind, poor conditions. The swell drops right off into the weekend; Saturday, August 1st, is small and choppy, and Sunday, August 2nd, is flat with a tiny 1.0ft, 10-second pulse – clean but barely a ripple.
From Monday, August 3rd, right through to Wednesday, August 12th, we’re talking about a massive gap of over a week where the swell is tiny, often under 2ft. The energy readings are pitiful, mostly single-digit or two-digit numbers. The wind is often clean, but there’s just no push to do anything with. It’s just flat spells punctuated by the occasional clean but useless ripple.
The only tiny blip on the radar is way out on Wednesday, August 12th. We get a little bump from the WNW with a 4ft swell, but the period is a weak 6 seconds and the wind is cross-on, making it lumpy and choppy. The energy is still only moderate (91). For a break like Aileen’s, which is an advanced, inconsistent reef, you need a proper pulse and clean conditions. This isn’t it. This is a blank run for the area, which happens, and forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Best advice? Leave the boards in the truck and go for a hike. There’s no standout here, not even close.

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.
