The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Aileen's over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty quiet start. We're looking at a run of tiny, clean conditions right through the middle of July, but the swell is just not there. For a wave this good to be working, we need a lot more oomph. The water is sitting at 61.3°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the waiting game is comfortable.
The first real sign of life doesn't show up until the 22nd of July. We start seeing the swell height creep up, but the wind is a mess. Strong onshore and cross-onshore winds are going to ruin any chance of getting a clean one. The combined wave energy climbs to 204 (moderate) on the 22nd afternoon, but with a short period of 8 seconds and that wind, it's a no-go.
The real standout, the one worth circling on the calendar, is the 25th of July. That Saturday morning, we finally get a proper pulse. A solid 5.6ft swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 10 seconds, pushing the combined energy up to 633 (strong). That's the kind of energy that gets Aileen's moving. The downside is the wind is onshore and the forecast is for cloudy skies, so it's not going to be perfect. This is an advanced, inconsistent reef break, so when it's on, it's one of the best, but it's not for the faint of heart. It's too big for beginners and will be one for the experts. The afternoon stays similar, with a cross-onshore breeze making it a bit lumpy.
After that, the swell drops back off pretty quickly into the last week of July, with messy onshore winds and a return to small, weak surf. The 25th is the only real window of opportunity, and even then, it's a bit of a battle with the wind. Not a classic run, but that one day has some serious potential.

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.
