The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Alright, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Aileen’s, a real beast of a reef setup that don’t wake up easily. This joint is an advanced-only wave, and with how inconsistent it is, you gotta be ready to wait.

We’ve got a proper dry spell to kick things off. From Tuesday the 25th of August through to Monday the 7th of September, it’s pretty much a write-off. Nothing worth paddling out for. You’ll see small, weak swell and some dodgy wind directions – Westerly swells in the 0.7ft to 3ft range with a combined energy that’s mostly under 200 (weak), but more often than not it’s blown out or onshore. Even the little burst of clean conditions on the 25th with a 3ft West swell (10-second period) and that gentle offshore easterly wind only scored a 1/10 – the wave state says “gentle offshore and clean,” but the surf is just too ordinary. That’s a nine-day gap with no real recommendations, which ain’t unusual for a spot that rarely lines up.

Now, the real standout is a promising one, but it’s a bit of a wait. Mark your calendars for Tuesday the 8th of September. Morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the WSW with a period of 14 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, long lines. The combined energy is 1163 (strong), so there’s some real grunt behind it. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze out of the ENE, so light it’s glassy. The forecast says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers,” and for a reef like Aileen’s, that’s the sweet spot. The swell direction from the WSW matches that optimum swell direction perfectly. Water temps are about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. Keep in mind that with a 14-second period, this wave will bend and wrap beautifully around the reef, but you’ll have longer waits between sets – makes the paddle out a bit easier though. This is the one to chase.

Wednesday the 9th of September morning ain’t bad either. A 6ft West swell (10 seconds) with a moderate offshore breeze from the ENE, giving you “very good surf conditions” and a combined energy of 600 (moderate). It’s a solid second option, but it’s not as clean or as energetic as the day before.

For the rest of that second week, things get messy again. The 4th of September has a big 10ft West swell but with onshore wind, and the 5th has clean cross-offshore wind but the swell is dropping and the scores are poor. Don’t bother.

So if you’re keen on Aileen’s, your best bet is the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. It’s a few days out, so keep an eye on the charts, but it’s lookin’ like a ripper.

Stay wet.

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.
