Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Aileen’s.
Straight up, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, lean period with very little to get excited about. For the first 12 days, from now through to the 22nd of July, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The waves are tiny, mostly under 2 feet, and the wind is a constant cross-off or onshore breeze, making for poor surf conditions day after day. It’s a real dry spell.
The one glimmer of hope, and it’s a distant one, arrives on the 23rd of July. That Thursday morning, the swell picks up to 5 feet from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind swings to a light cross-shore from the NNW, which is a gentle breeze. The combined energy jumps to 356, which is moderate, and the water temp is about normal for the time of year. It’s the only time the score even nudges into “marginal” territory. But even then, it’s described as questionable, so don’t expect perfection.
After that, the 24th and 25th of July see the swell actually get bigger – up to 7 feet and 8 feet – but the wind turns nasty onshore again, making it choppy and lumpy. That’s kitesurfing conditions, not clean paddling. For the 26th, it drops back down.
So, the honest truth? There are no standouts here. The only date that even comes close to a recommendation is the morning of the 23rd of July, but it’s a gamble. For a wave of this quality, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but for now, this is a blank run.
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.
