Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one to call. We’re looking at a real flat spell for a good while. The first real chance of any waves at Aileen’s doesn’t show up until about a week in, but even then, it’s pretty marginal. The period kicks off with a whole lot of nothing, and that run of poor conditions stretches for a solid 10 days. Don’t rush to grab your board just yet.
Come Wednesday, July 19th, we finally see a little pulse of life. The swell picks up to about 2ft from the W with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 114. Not huge, but it’s something. The catch is a stiff cross-onshore breeze from the NW, so it’s gonna be a bit choppy. This is really the only thing close to a highlight in the whole run, but even then, it’s not a standout by any stretch.
The real action, if you can call it that, is on Thursday, July 23rd. The swell is gonna jump up to 7ft from the WSW, with a long 11-second period. The combined energy is off the charts at 1167 – that’s serious power. But here’s the thing: that day brings a strong cross-onshore breeze at 25 mph, which will make for some messy, lumpy conditions. This is expert-level size only, and with that wind, it’s gonna be a battle. The water temp is a lovely 61°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, there’s nothing to bother with. The forecast can change, and it’s not often this quiet for so long, so keep your eyes peeled. But as it stands, the 23rd is the only day with real power, and it’s a wind-affected mess.
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.
