The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Aileen's.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for any decent surf at this spot. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for a proper session. The swell just doesn’t have the goods, and the wind is mostly working against us. We’re looking at a solid stretch of days with no real recommendations, so don’t hold your breath.

The only flicker of something happening comes right at the very end of the period. On the morning of the 28th of July, we might just scrape into a "marginal" situation. The swell is still tiny, only about 4ft from the West, with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (249). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the WSW, which at least keeps the surface reasonably clean with just small wind ripples. But honestly, for a wave as demanding as Aileen's, this is barely a ripple. It’s a world-class reef, but it’s inconsistent and needs a lot more oomph to get going. For a beginner, this is a no-go; for an expert, there’s just not enough wave to work with.

Before that, everything is rated as poor. The water temperature anomaly is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about there.

To be honest, the whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the cross-onshore and onshore winds that dominate. The swell is too small and the wind is too messy. This is one of those times where you leave the board in the car and go do something else. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.

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.
