The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Aileen’s. I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day outlook is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a long, long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't pop up until the very end of the month. So, for the next week and a half, you’re looking at a blank run of close to zero recommendations. That’s a tough spell.
The first hint of something worth talking about is on Thursday the 27th of August. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only break in the clouds. Thursday morning, we’ve got a light offshore breeze from the SSE, which will keep the surface clean. We’re looking at a modest 3ft swell from the SW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, sitting at 115, so it’ll be small and a bit weak. The water’s sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Because Aileen’s is such an inconsistent spot, the fact that it might even have a pulse is notable. But let’s be real, the surfable waves are described as very ordinary. This is an advanced wave, so the small size might make it a bit more manageable for the brave, but the energy just isn’t there.
Looking further ahead to the 30th of August, we see a bump in size, with a 3ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is messy again. It’s a shame, because if the wind cleaned up, that could be something.
The standout, if you can call it that, is that Thursday morning session. It’s the only window with clean conditions and a pulse of swell. Keep your expectations low, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your shot. Everything else in this 16-day window is a write-off for Aileen’s, which is a real shame for such a heavy slab.
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.
