The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is – Aisling's Beach is looking pretty flat and grim for the next couple of weeks. Not much to chase.
The water’s at 62°F, running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Small comfort, I know.
First scrap of hope is on Wednesday, September 16th. We’ve got a 6ft south swell with a 10-second period and a fresh offshore wind from the SSW at 19 mph. The combined swell energy sits at 558 – moderate. It’s clean, but the report calls it marginal. Swell’s over 5ft, so the beginners might want to sit this one out.
Thursday morning the 17th is a letdown. A 3ft SSE swell with a short 8-second period and only 147 energy. Light offshore from the SW at 6 mph keeps it clean, but the waves are just ordinary. Thursday afternoon bumps up to 6ft from the south, but an onshore wind blows it out.
Then it all goes quiet. From Friday the 18th through Tuesday the 22nd – six days of nothing. Poor surf, tiny waves, bad winds.
Wednesday the 23rd afternoon shows a 7ft NE swell with a short 7-second period and 400 energy, but it’s onshore and messy. Too big and choppy for a good session – honestly, that looks more like a kite-surfing day.
The only real window is Thursday morning the 24th. Glassy conditions with a north wind at just 3 mph. A 4ft NE swell with a 7-second period and 180 energy. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That short-period NE swell on a beach-and-point break won’t give you much to work with.
Friday morning the 25th is glassy again, but it’s only 2ft of weak NE swell. Same story – just rideable.
After that, it’s a long run of poor or marginal conditions all the way through to Thursday, October 1st. Nothing stands out. If you’re desperate, paddle out on the glassy Thursday the 24th – it’s the best of a bad bunch.
Rusty.

Information about the Aisling's Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Aisling's Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aisling's Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aisling's Beach 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 (Aisling's Beach) 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 Aisling's Beach 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.
