The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee and listen up, this is a tricky one. I’m lookin’ at Aileen’s, and if you know this wave, you know it’s a fickle beast – an expert-only reef slab that rarely lines up. It’s inconsistent as they come, so we take what we can get. This outlook’s got a long wait, and a whole lotta junk before anything even gets close to decent.

The first week is basically a write-off. We kick off Thursday the 3rd with a bumpy, rain-soaked mess. Swell’s there at 6ft from the WSW, but the period is a weak 8 seconds and the wind is a dirty cross-onshore at 22 mph. The wave energy is weak, just a measly 370, and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 62°F. It looks poor, it feels poor. That’s the theme for days. Friday the 4th sees a massive spike in energy – over 3000 for the combined energy – but that swell is over 10ft and absolutely hammered by strong onshore winds. That’s a washing machine, not a surf session. Saturday the 5th is the only glimmer in this whole first week. The morning is marginal with a moderate cross-shore, but the afternoon cleans right up. You get a clean 4ft wave from the WSW with a light cross-off breeze out of the SE. It’s small, but it might be the most rideable wave in the whole period. Still, the scores are low.

Then comes a brutal, long gap. From the 6th right through to the morning of Tuesday the 15th, the forecast is just one bad report after another – strong winds, poor conditions, or the swell just disappears. On the 14th we’re looking at tiny 1ft waves. It’s dead.

But hold on. Tuesday the 15th. That’s the one. The morning of September 15th is our standout. A clean 8ft swell out of the west with a very long 16-second period. The wind is glassy light from the NNE, making for clean conditions. The combined energy is a massive 3203. This is big, powerful groundswell. Now, for a reef like Aileen’s, that long period is a dream – it’ll hold up and wall up perfectly for the experts. But let’s be real, at 8ft, this is for experienced surfers only. Beginners, stay well clear. The afternoon sees the wind shift onshore, so the window is the morning. This is a promising, long-range call, but with a setup this clean and a swell this size, it’s the one to circle on the calendar.

After that high, it fades. The 16th and 17th drop back to weak, onshore junk, and by the 18th we’re back to tiny 1ft leftovers. So to sum it up: a week of pain, one killer morning on the 15th, then flat again. That’s Aileen’s for you.

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.
