Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Aileen’s.
Straight up, it’s a tough stretch ahead. For a spot that’s usually only for the brave, the next week and a bit is lookin’ pretty average. The first solid recommendation doesn’t pop up until Thursday, July 9th, and even then it’s barely a whisper. We’ve got a real dry spell from now until then—a full six days with nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 61°, but that won’t help much when the waves are messy.
That first little glimmer comes Thursday morning the 9th. We’re talkin’ tiny 3ft swell out of the W, period around 9 seconds, and the energy is weak (164). But—and it’s a big but—the wind goes glassy, dead calm. That’s rare for Aileen’s. It’ll be clean as a whistle, but you’ll be waitin’ a long time between small waves. It’s surfable, just very ordinary.
The real standout, the one that’ll get your heart beatin’, is Friday, July 10th. Now we’re talkin’. A new pulse of groundswell fills in from the WNW, pushin’ 4ft, with a nice 11-second period. The combined energy jumps to 331—moderate but much better feelin’ than what we’ve had. Best part? Friday morning brings light offshore wind from the ESE, glassin’ it up proper. That afternoon stays glassy, too. This is the best on offer for the whole outlook. Clean lines, proper reef shape, and the offshore direction is bang on. Crowds are likely here, but for a wave this good and this clean, you won’t mind a few friends out.
Saturday the 11th has a small window, 3ft and glassy in the morning, but it’s weak (106) and the rain showers might put a damper on it. From there the swell fades fast, droppin’ below 3ft for days. The second week is thin. Monday the 13th is glassy but tiny (2ft), and there’s a blip on Wednesday the 15th with a 2ft push, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore most of the time, and the energy barely touches triple digits. Nothin’ worth settin’ the alarm for after that Friday the 10th.
So there you go. If you’re keen, mark your calendar for Friday, July 10th. That’s your window. Otherwise, keep the board in the truck and wait for the next 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.
