Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Aileen’s in the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough one for Aileen’s. The first day we see any surf worth mentioning is Thursday morning, July 9th, but honestly, it’s a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a 3.6ft swell from the W with a 9-second period, wind is SW at 9 mph, so it’s cross-on and choppy. The water temp is 61.3°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (196), but the conditions are just poor. That afternoon looks questionable too with a marginal forecast.
Friday morning, July 10th, is where it gets a little interesting. The swell drops to 2.6ft from the WNW, but the period jumps to 11 seconds – that’s a nice groundswell pulse. The wind is NNE at 6 mph, a light cross-offshore breeze that’ll keep things clean. The energy is still moderate (241), and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." This is the standout of the entire forecast. For a reef break that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers, the stars align for a few hours of clean, lined-up waves. If you’re an experienced charger, this is your window.
After that, it’s a long, dry spell. From Friday afternoon all the way through the end of the forecast window on July 24th, we get next to nothing. The swell is tiny – mostly under 2ft – and the wind is often a problem, usually cross-off or cross-on but blowing too hard. The energy levels drop to weak (sometimes as low as 14) and the scores are all zero. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday morning, July 22nd, where we see a 3ft W swell with a 9-second period and a light NNE breeze, giving us clean conditions and moderate energy (125), but the forecast still calls it "very ordinary." It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
So, the reality check: Aileen’s only has one good morning – Friday, July 10th – and then it’s a ghost town for over two weeks. For a spot that’s inconsistent anyway, a blank run like this is pretty normal. Keep your eyes on the forecasts though; things can change. For now, if you’re keen, set your alarm for that Friday morning.

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.
