The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Aileen’s over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. Aileen’s is a world-class reef, but it’s notoriously inconsistent. Looking at the run ahead, we’re in for a real dry spell. The first decent sign of life doesn’t pop up until Sunday the 13th, and even then it’s just barely a whisper. For the first few days, the wind is a mess – mostly cross-onshore, often fresh and lumpy. The swell is there, but it’s ruined by the wind. The water temp is right around 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit might be a little comfier than usual.

For the true salt dogs, the Sunday morning session on the 13th is the first time we get a look. It’s small, with a 4 ft swell from the W, period at 9 seconds, and the wind is a light breeze. The combined energy is weak (340). The break is still cross-onshore, and the comment says it’s marginal. Honestly, it’s a maybe-at-best spot.

The outlook doesn’t improve much after that. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore for the entire first week, with scores of 0 or 1 across the board. There’s a couple of afternoons with smallish west swell and moderate wind, but nothing you’d paddle out for.

The only real standout in this whole 16-day window is a long-range hope. On Monday the 21st, the morning session shows a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE, creating clean conditions. The swell is 8 ft from the WSW with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (1073). That’s a solid, powerful wave. But it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts. The afternoon of the 21st goes straight to hell with a 28 mph cross-onshore, so you’d be out of the water by lunch.

There’s a late run on the 22nd with a very long period swell (17 seconds) from the WNW, but it’s paired with a strong cross-onshore wind, making it a messy, lumpy mess. That kind of period is pure magic for a reef if the wind is right, but it’s all wrong here.

So, what’s the call? The 21st morning is the only window that really gets my heart pumping. It’s a long way off, but clean conditions, a solid 8 ft swell, and a reef that loves a WSW direction – that’s the one to watch. Everything else is a write-off from a paddle-surfing perspective. If you’re a kiter, the afternoons with strong cross-onshore wind and solid swell might look tasty, but for a surfer, this is a blank run for the most part.

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.
