The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Aileen’s over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, this is a tough one. Aileen’s is a world-class reef break that takes a serious WSW groundswell to light up, and for the entire 16-day window, the conditions just aren’t lining up. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf with onshore or cross-onshore winds and messy, lumpy conditions. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but honestly, that’s the only thing that’s decent.

The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Monday the 10th of August. That morning, we’ve got a clean, gentle offshore wind from the ENE, but the swell is a tiny 2ft from the west with a mediocre 8-second period. The energy is weak (88). There’s a perfectly clean little window again on Monday afternoon with an ESE offshore breeze, but the swell drops to just 2ft. It’s clean, but there’s barely any push.

The next standout is a bit of a long shot, but on the morning of Sunday the 17th of August, we see a jump in swell size. The wind is light and onshore from the west, but the swell comes up to 5ft from the west, with a short period of 6 seconds, and the energy climbs to 139 (moderate). The wind is light, but it’s onshore, so it won’t be glassy. The afternoon of that same day sees a similar 5ft swell from the west, with a slightly better 7-second period, and the energy jumps to 230 (moderate). The wind stays light from the WNW, still onshore. This is the biggest swell of the window, but it’s short-period and onshore, so it’s going to be a messy, lumpy affair. Only for the experienced who know the ledge.

Let’s be honest, there’s no standout session here. The best of a bad bunch is the Monday the 10th morning for the cleanest conditions, but the swell is tiny. If you’re desperate for a wave, that’s your window. For the rest of us, we’re waiting for a proper groundswell with a better wind direction. Given how inconsistent this spot is, a blank run like this isn’t surprising.

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.
