Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk Aileen’s in feet and knots.
Honestly, it’s a grim outlook. After a bit of junk swell on the 8th and 9th, the waves just die. By the 12th of July, the swell is down to 1ft at best, and the energy is puny. That flat spell runs right through to the 22nd – over a week of nothing worth paddling out for.
The early action is all poor. Wednesday the 8th gives you a 4ft west swell, but the wind is cross-onshore from the southwest at 6 knots, making it choppy. Combined energy is 207 (moderate). Thursday the 9th: 4ft west swell, still cross-on, energy 234 – same story, messy. Friday the 10th drops to 2ft with a longer 11-second period, but the wind swings north and then northwest, and it’s not clean.
There is one tiny glimmer, and it’s at the very end. On Thursday the 23rd of July, we get a gentle offshore breeze from the east at 8 knots, a 3ft west swell, and energy at 101 – just barely moderate. The report says “surfable but ordinary.” That’s your best bet, but it’s small and nothing special. Water temp is average for this time of year.
This reef is inconsistent anyway, and with basically no quality swell for over two weeks, it’s a hard pass. The small waves are safe for beginners under 5ft, but there’s no power for experts. Chalk it up to a dead run; it won’t stay this way forever, but right now, it’s a desert.
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.
