Alright, let’s break it down. Aileen’s is the only spot in the mix, a serious reef wave for advanced surfers, and it doesn’t break often. Water temp is running about 61°, a touch warmer than usual for the season.
From now through the morning of July 9th, you can forget it. That’s nearly a week of junk – cross-onshore winds blowing 15 to 22 mph, lumpy, choppy, and the waves are messy. There’s some size, like 5 to 6 ft from the WSW and W, with moderate energy, but the wind ruins everything.
Then on Thursday morning the 9th, there’s a brief window. Swell drops to 3 ft from the west with a 9-second period, and the wind turns cross-offshore and light. The energy is weak, but the surface is clean. It’s called surfable but very ordinary, so it’s barely a session. After that, it’s back to poor conditions through the afternoon and for days after.
From the 10th to the 13th, it’s more onshore wind, choppy, and weak swell. On the 14th of July, we get a pulse to 5 ft from the west with a 10-second period and moderate energy, but the wind is onshore again. All that energy wasted.
Through the 15th and 16th, it’s cross-onshore, lumpy, and the swell fades. By the 17th and 18th, the waves are down to 2 to 2 ft with weak energy, choppy and messy. There’s no standout session in this whole 16-day run. Aileen’s just doesn’t get the right combo. If you’re keen, maybe that Thursday 9th morning gives you a clean but tiny wave. Otherwise, it’s a long stretch of nothing.

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.
