The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. Rusty here, lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – for the next week and a half, it's pretty much a write-off at Aileen's. There's a ton of swell on the way, but the wind is gonna be a nightmare for most of it, with strong cross-onshore and onshore breezes making a mess of things. We're looking at a long dry spell from now until about Saturday the 27th of September.
The only real light at the end of the tunnel, and I mean the only one worth getting excited about, is the morning of Sunday the 27th. That's the standout. The forecast is showing a solid 10ft groundswell from the WSW, with a very long 10-second period, and the combined energy is strong at (1857). But the real kicker is the wind – a light 6 mph breeze from the north, coming cross-offshore. That's gonna clean it right up, making for some excellent conditions. This is a spot for the experienced crew only; at this size, it's not for the faint-hearted. Keep in mind it's an inconsistent spot that needs the right swell, so when it lines up like this, it's a special thing.
After that little window, Monday the 28th morning looks like it could clean up a bit more with a lighter 4ft swell from the WSW and offshore winds from the east. The energy is weak at (210), but it's clean and might offer a few fun ones.
So to sum it up: sit tight for over a week of blown-out swell, then be ready for a serious session on the morning of Sunday the 27th. That's your best bet, and it's a good one.

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.
