Table - best surf conditions forecast for Aileen's over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up: the next few weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper session. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don't get your hopes up for anything decent.
For the first eight days, right through until the 19th of July, you're looking at tiny, weak swell with next to no energy behind it. You won't find anything worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-off, which is a tease because the waves just aren't there. You'd be better off finding something else to do.
On the 22nd of July, things start to change, but not for the better for surfing. The swell bumps up a bit – we're seeing around 3.6 ft from the WNW – and the combined energy hits a moderate 240. But the wind swings around to a fresh cross-onshore and it gets lumpy. It's not surfable in any enjoyable way. That trend continues through the end of the month. The swell gets a little bigger on the 25th of July, with 4.9 ft to 5.2 ft from the WSW and energy climbing to 306, but it's accompanied by strong cross-onshore winds up to 18.6 mph, making it a messy, choppy mess. That's a setup that looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There is simply no standout option in this entire 16-day window. Don't bother chasing it. The conditions just aren't on our side.

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.
