The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I ain’t gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day stretch for Aileen's is a grind. The first wave worth paddling for comes Monday, August 24, and it’s nothing to write home about.

Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 63°, about 3° above average for this time of year.

Monday, August 24 is your best early window. Swell runs 3ft to 3ft from the WNW, period 10-11 seconds, with clean offshore ESE winds. The combined wave energy is 162 (moderate). Small, but clean. That’s the call for the first week.

Tuesday, August 25 gives you similar – 3ft from the west with morning offshore ESE breezes and moderate energy (169). Alright if you’re keen for a grovel.

The one standout in the whole run? There isn’t one. This is an inconsistent reef, and we’re stuck in a long stretch of tiny, weak, or wind-destroyed surf. The biggest spike comes Sunday, September 6, with 5ft from the west and a 12-second period, pushing the combined energy to 528 (very strong), but it’s blown out by near gale-force onshore winds. Kiter’s paradise, not for a paddle surfer.

Everything else is too small, too short period, or hammered by wind. Gaps of days with nothing usable. The 24th and 25th of August are your only real shots, and they’re just “surfable but ordinary.” If you’re itching, go Monday or Tuesday morning with the offshore breeze. Otherwise, wait for the next system – this one’s a long, flat dud.

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.
