Hey, Rusty here. Let's get real about the next two weeks. It's a tough slog for the first ten days with a lot of junk wind and small slop. The real juice doesn't show up until we're further into the month.
The water is about 61°, which is a touch warmer than usual, but that's about the only positive for a while.
There’s a massive gap here with no real surf to speak of until mid-month. Everything from now through the first weekend and into the middle of next week is just onshore chop and weak energy (values in the 323-542 range, but with horrible wind). Don't bother.
The first real glimmer of hope is Monday, July 13th. The morning brings a clean 3ft West swell with an 11-second period (316 energy). The wind will be light offshore from the East. It’ll be a bit weak, but clean and surfable. The afternoon picks up to about 4ft, still clean with a light cross-offshore breeze (431 energy). It's a reef break, so that longer period will be a plus.
Now, the standout to get excited about is Saturday morning, July 18th. The charts show a chunky 6ft to 7ft West-Southwest groundswell with an 11-second period and a ton of energy (831 to 1035). That's expert territory. The morning is forecast to be glassy and clean, which is about as good as it gets for a heavy reef. That is the session to target. The afternoon gets a slight cross-onshore ripple, but the swell is still there.
So, in short: the first 10 days are a dud. Monday, July 13th is your first okay day for a clean paddle, but Saturday morning, July 18th is the proper, big-wave call for the experienced crew. It's a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
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.
