Aisling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your wettie, let’s see what Aisling’s Beach has in store for us.

The next few weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a little pulse of energy arriving, but it’s nothing to get too worked up about. The real standout is a bigger swell that shows up at the very end of the month and into the start of August.

First up, Monday morning, July 20th. Aisling’s Beach is seeing a weak 4ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 418. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNW, so it’s a bit bumpy. It’s a marginal call. The afternoon glass-off is the real story here. The wind goes totally glassy from the SE, and the swell holds at 4ft. That’s the best bet for the next few days.

Tuesday, July 21st, keeps the small, clean theme going. The morning has a 4ft ENE swell with a sweet offshore wind from the SW. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The waves will be clean but small, with combined energy dropping to 289. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy again.

From Wednesday, July 22nd, through to the end of the week, the swell just fades away. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves, mostly under 3ft, and the energy drops into the double digits. The wind is all over the place, from offshore to onshore. There’s a brief moment on Friday, July 24th, in the afternoon with a glassy 1ft swell, but it’s a 18-second period, which is a very long period groundswell. That means it’ll be inconsistent and might break too straight for the beach break here. Still, for a micro-session, it’s something.

The weekend of July 26th and 27th is flat or close to it. The energy is weak, and the wind is messy. You’re better off doing something else.

Now, here’s the promise. The 30th of July, Thursday, is when things get interesting. The morning is a bit dicey with a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind is cross-off from the WSW, keeping it fairly clean. The energy is strong at 591. The afternoon, though, is the standout. The wind swings to a clean offshore from the SW at 12 mph, with a solid 5ft SSE swell. The period is 11 seconds, and the combined energy is 550. The forecast is for very good surf conditions. This is the one to circle.

Friday, July 31st, continues the run with a 4ft SSE swell and a clean offshore wind. The energy is still strong at 367. Solid, clean, and fun.

The first weekend of August keeps the momentum. Saturday, August 1st, has a 4ft SSE swell in the morning with a light cross-off wind from the WNW. The energy is 288. Clean, but not as punchy. The afternoon gets ruined by a cross-onshore wind.

But the absolute best on offer is Sunday, August 2nd. The morning is a dream. A 5ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 10 seconds, and a light cross-off wind from the West. The combined energy is a strong 740. This is clean, punchy, and will offer some great waves at Aisling’s. The afternoon gets a bit messy, but the morning session is the one to aim for. After that, the swell fades away again into the first week of August.

So, to sum it up: the next few days are for small-wave gear and patience. The real magic is the Thursday, July 30th afternoon through Sunday, August 2nd morning. Get out there for that.

Rusty.
