Alright crew, Rusty here. Lookin' at this stretch for Aileen's, a proper reef that loves a good WSW groundswell, and I gotta tell ya, it's a tough one. There's a big ol' gap of nothing right at the start, so don't rush to get your wetsuit on. We're in for a dry spell until Friday morning, July 10th.
The water is sitting at 61°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.
For the first few days, Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th, it's all cross-onshore wind with weak, junky surf. The energy is just not there. Friday morning, the 10th, is the only real highlight in the whole 16 days. We've got a clean 2ft swell from the WNW with a long 11-second period, and a light NNE cross-offshore breeze keeping it glassy. The wave energy is moderate (211). This is your window. It's not big, but it's the cleanest and most rideable shape of the whole outlook. Remember, this spot is inconsistent and for experts only – that reef is sharp.
From Saturday the 11th all the way through to Thursday the 23rd, it's a ghost town. Swell heights barely touch 2ft, and the combined energy drops into the weak two-digit numbers (80, 19, 14, etc.). The wind is often offshore, but with no swell to work with, it's just flat. Even when we get a long-period swell (13 seconds on the 13th), it's on a 0.7ft wave. It's a bleak run, and for this area, it's not that strange to see a stretch this quiet.
If you're into kiting, the 40-50 mph winds on the 20th and 21st might get your attention, but for surfing, there's nothing to chase. Forecasts can change, but for now, I'd hang the board up.
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.
