The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same outlook, but in feet and miles per hour.
The next week and a half is looking pretty rough for a paddle. A long run of poor surf conditions with no real quality window. The water temp is 62°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of something worth getting excited about doesn’t arrive until Wednesday, August 14th and Saturday, August 15th. Those two mornings are the standouts.
Wednesday, August 14th, morning at Aileen's (Ireland) – we’ve got a 6-foot swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is strong, and the wind is light ENE at 3 mph, which is offshore. That’s clean surf. This is a reef break, and at 6 feet it’s not for beginners.
Then Saturday, August 15th, morning rolls in with a 7-foot swell from the WNW, also 9 seconds, and the energy is even higher. Again, light ENE wind at 9 mph keeping it offshore and clean. This is a proper wave, but at 7 feet it’s expert-only territory. Expect company at the lineup.
The rest of the window? Trash. A lot of cross-onshore winds, lumpy and choppy conditions, and tiny swell. The 17th has a glassy morning with a 4-foot swell, but the energy is weak and the conditions are just “ordinary.”
So, to sum it up: if you’re an experienced surfer and you can wait, the 14th and 15th of August mornings are your best bet.
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.
