The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you – the 16-day window for Aisling's Beach is a tough stretch. There are no strong standouts, and for the first several days, you're looking at a pretty flat spell. We're talking a full week of barely a ripple before things start to move.
The first real chance for a paddle comes on Thursday, 30 July. The morning has a light 0.9ft swell from the SSE (10-sec period) and moderate offshore wind. It's clean but the energy's only moderate (184). Ordinary, surfable waves, just nothing to write home about. Friday 31 July sees a similar 0.8ft SSE swell in the morning with lighter cross-off wind, staying clean but small.
Saturday, 1 August, brings a glassy morning with a tiny 0.7ft SSE swell (9-sec period). It's surfable but very weak energy (94). Sunday, 2 August, is a write-off with cross-onshore winds and a messy 0.6ft SE swell.
The first hint of life shows up on Wednesday 5 August afternoon – a 1.0m (3ft) swell from the SSE with moderate offshore wind. It's still a marginal call (205). But then things get interesting around Thursday 6 August. The morning brings a 1.9m (6ft) SE swell (8-sec period) and a solid 30 km/h offshore wind. The energy is strong (708), but the short period (8 sec) means it'll be a bit lumpy and close together. Still, it's clean and starting to show some push.
The real highlight of the whole period looks to be Saturday 8 August. The morning session has a solid 1.9m (6ft) ESE swell (10-sec period) with clean 20 km/h offshore wind. The energy is very strong (1068). The water temp is about average for the time of year at 60°F, nothing unusual. This is a solid groundswell that should produce well-shaped, powerful waves. At 6ft, it's pushing the limits for beginners, but for experienced surfers, this is the best on offer. Aisling's Beach is a beach and point setup, so the longer-period ESE groundswell should wrap nicely into the point. The afternoon goes cross-off and a touch bigger at 2.1m (7ft), still clean but the wind shifts, making the morning the pick. Crowds are possible here.
After that, Sunday 9 August drops off quickly. The morning has a 1.6m (5ft) ESE swell but cross-on wind messes it up. The rest of the week fades into small, windy, and poor conditions.
Bottom line: the only day worth getting excited about is Saturday 8 August morning. The rest is a long wait. Stay keen.
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.
