The Lowdown
Gather 'round, folks. Rusty here. I've got the long-range scoop for Aileen's, and it's a bit of a tough one. This is a serious, advanced reef break that's known for being inconsistent, so when the stars align, it's magic, but when they don't, it's a long wait. Over the next 16 days, we're looking at a long, dry spell, so don't get your hopes up just yet.
The outlook starts on Tuesday, August 4th, with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. The wind is cross-onshore and choppy, with a swell height of 2 ft from the SW and a period of just 3 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 10, so there's nothing to get excited about. This pattern of poor surf continues day after day. We've got a window of hope on Sunday, August 9th, with a marginal forecast. The morning shows a 4 ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the wind is light and onshore, giving us a combined energy of 220. But it's only a 1 out of 10, so it's a long shot. The following Monday, August 10th, brings a light offshore breeze from the ENE, but the swell drops to 2 ft from the W with an 8-second period and 99 energy, so it's still a no-go.
The surf remains poor through the middle of August, with occasional flashes of clean conditions but no real swell. The week of August 17th brings a bit more size, with Monday, August 17th afternoon showing a 5 ft swell from the W with a 10-second period, cross-offshore wind from the SSE, and a combined energy of 434. That's marginal, but still a 1 out of 10. The wind is clean, but it's inconsistent and the swell direction isn't ideal for this spot. The best we see is a brief window on Wednesday, August 19th morning, with a 7 ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore and the energy is 549. That's a lot of juice, but it's messy and not rideable at Aileen's with that wind.
In short, there's no standout day here. The conditions are either too small, too windy, or too messy. For a break that's already inconsistent, this is a blank run. If you're a kite surfer, the strong winds and decent swell might make for an interesting session, but for a paddle surfer, it's a waiting game. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

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.
