The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve only got one spot on the radar this time around – Aileen’s – and it’s a bit of a wild child. It’s a reef break that’s inconsistent and exposed, so it needs a lot of things to line up. The water is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The whole 16-day window is a rough one. For the first week and a half, from the 4th right through to the 16th of September, it’s a write-off. We’re talking strong winds, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. The swell is all over the shop, with combined wave energy readings like 3172 (very strong) on the 4th, but it’s just not clean. You’d be battling a washing machine out there. The wind is just too strong, making it a real battle.

That long stretch of poor conditions finally breaks on the morning of Thursday, the 17th of September. That’s the one standout. The wind goes glassy – light air from the NE, with a clean 4ft swell from the WNW at a 10-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, which for a reef break like this, is a beautiful thing. The combined energy is a moderate 245, and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." It’s not a massive swell, but it’s the only time the wind and swell really cooperate. If you can get out there that Thursday morning, Aileen’s could be working its magic. The break is for advanced surfers only, and it’s often crowded, so be prepared for a crew.

After that, it fades away again. The 18th and 19th see the energy drop right off into the weak range (79 and lower), and the wind shifts back to crummy directions. Nothing else to get excited about. It’s one of those long, blank runs that are a bit more normal for this kind of exposed spot.

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.
