Alright, I’ll level with you – we’re staring down a proper flat spell at Aileen's. This reef needs a real push to get going, and we just don't have it. The full 16-day run looks bleak for any kind of decent session.
From Monday July 6th all the way through to Monday July 20th, there’s hardly a wave worth mentioning. Most days show tiny swell, often under 2 ft, with cross-offshore winds keeping it clean but microscopic. The few little pulses, like a 4 ft swell from the W on Monday afternoon with a 12 mph onshore wind, are totally blown out and choppy. Total washout.
The only tiny spark comes around Tuesday July 21st. We might see a 4 ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period and moderate energy. But it’ll have a cross-shore wind making it lumpy, and the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 61°. That’s over a week away though, so don’t get your hopes up. This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and with the swell coming from the WNW and an optimum of WSW, it's not lining up right.
Bottom line: there’s nothing worth paddling out for until maybe that last date, and even then it’s a long shot. On the windy days, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Keep the faith. Forecasts can switch up.

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.
