The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk surf for the next 16 days here at Aileen's. It's a tough one, so I'll be straight with you.
Right up until the second weekend, there's absolutely nothin'. The water's sittin' at about 62°F, which is a degree or so warmer than average for this time, but that don't help with no waves. From the start of August right through to Friday the 15th, it's just all poor conditions. The wind is either howlin' onshore or cross-on the whole time, and the swell is pathetic – tiny little slop with energy readings from about 6 all the way up to maybe 99. Not worth gettin' your board wet.
Now, Saturday the 16th of August is your only real chance. Aileen's might just fire. We're talkin' 8ft of swell from the west with a 10-second period. That's a real groundswell, and for a reef like this, that's a good thing – it'll wrap in and focus. The combined energy jumps to over 1293, which is strong. The wind is from the west at about 15 mph, which is onshore. That's a shame; it's gonna be blown out and messy. They're callin' it "marginal," and with size over 8ft, this is strictly for experts only. The afternoon looks similar, with the same 8ft swell, energy up near 1308, and the wind droppin' a little but still onshore.
The rest of the second week has a few days that look head-high, but the wind is always blowin' onshore or cross-on, so the wave face is gonna be choppy. The 16th is your one and only highlight, but don't expect it to be clean. This spot is famously inconsistent, so a long stretch of nothin' is pretty normal for around here. The first two weeks are a total washout.

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.
