The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Aileen's over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is pretty grim. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of. From Saturday the 8th right through to Sunday the 16th, it’s mostly small, messy, and blown out. We get a bit of a tease on the morning of Monday the 12th with a 3ft swell from the WSW, but the conditions are just ordinary. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or onshore, and the wave energy is weak – sitting around 172 (moderate) at best. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
Then, after all that waiting, things finally switch on. The standout window is Monday the 18th of August. The morning is the real gem. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell rolling in from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is coming from the ENE at 9 mph, which is a nice clean cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is pumping at 955 (strong). This is a proper reef break setup, and with that wind, it’s going to be clean and powerful. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon holds similar size at 8ft from the WNW, but the wind swings to a cross-shore, so the morning is the pick.
After that, it drops back off. Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are small again, around 2ft to 3ft. Friday the 21st sees a 7ft west swell roll in, but a strong 22 mph SW cross-onshore wind will make it a choppy mess – probably more of a kite session than a paddle session.
So, to wrap it up: it’s a long wait, but Monday the 18th of August is your day. Get on it early.
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.
