The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way for Aileen's. To be straight with you, it’s a rough stretch. We’ve got a long gap of nothing but poor conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for anything decent for a while.
The water’s sitting at a pretty warm 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Looking at the next week or so, it’s a write-off. From Sunday the 26th of July right through to Tuesday the 4th of August, every reading shows poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly cross-onshore and fresh, the swell’s all over the place, and the combined wave energy is weak to moderate at best. It’s just not worth paddling out.
We finally see a flicker of life on Wednesday the 5th of August. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the west with a short 7-second period, and the combined energy hits 223 – moderate energy. The wind goes light and cross-onshore. It’s still only rated as marginal, but at least there’s a chance of a wave. It’s a small window, because Thursday the 6th goes back to poor again.
Friday the 7th of August morning is the only other faint glimmer. The swell drops to 4ft from the west, period 8 seconds, 163 combined energy. But the wind goes glassy – proper glassy. That means clean conditions, even if the waves aren’t anything special. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions right through the rest of the forecast. The swell gets smaller, the wind swings around, and there’s just no quality on offer.
So honestly, for Aileen's, the best you can hope for in this outlook is that early morning glass on Friday the 7th of August. It won’t be epic, but it’ll be the cleanest thing we see. Everything else is a hard pass.

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.
