Aisling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s happening at Aisling’s Beach over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 60°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

The surf kicks off Tuesday afternoon, 7 July, with a 6ft south-east swell and a solid 11-second period. Combined energy is moderate at 862. The wind is cross-off from the SSW though, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. It’s surfable but nothing special.

Wednesday the 8th is where it gets interesting. Wednesday morning is the standout session of this whole run. You’ve got a clean 5ft south-east swell, 10-second period, and offshore wind from the SW at just 6 mph. It’s clean, it’s got juice, and combined energy sits at 638. This is the best on offer – a proper fun morning if you can get out there. The afternoon stays clean but the wind swings cross-off and the swell drops a touch.

Thursday morning the 9th is glassy – zero wind, some clouds, and a small 3ft east-south-east swell. Combined energy is down to 297. It’s clean but small; good for a longboard or a beginner session. The afternoon turns cross-on and gets messy.

From Friday 10th through to Monday 13th, it’s pretty flat and ordinary. Swell drops below 3ft most of the time, wind is onshore or cross, and combined energy barely cracks 100 on some days. There’s a few clean moments but the waves are tiny – not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate.

Monday afternoon the 13th sees a spike – 5ft from the SSW with 9 seconds, combined energy 371 – but the wind is light cross-shore and the report says marginal. Could be a sneaky session but it’s not firing.

Tuesday 14th has a weird one: a 1ft south-east swell with an 18-second period in the afternoon. That’s a very long period groundswell – will wrap into the point but it’s tiny. Combined energy 134. Not much to get excited about.

Now, Wednesday 15 July is another highlight. Morning brings a solid 6ft SSW swell, 10-second period, clean cross-off wind, and combined energy of 727. This is the other standout window – expect clean, punchy waves at the point. The afternoon stays similar but the report flags marginal tide.

After that, it drops off again through to the weekend. Thursday 16th and Friday 17th offer small clean waves in the morning but nothing over 3ft. Friday morning is glassy with a 3ft SSE swell – combined energy 210. Nice for a quiet surf.

Then from Saturday 18th right through to Monday 20th, it’s mostly small, onshore or cross-onshore, with combined energy in the 130–170 range. Not great.

Late in the run, Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd see a jump in size but the wind howls. Tuesday morning has 5ft east swell but 28 mph cross-off wind – that’s more kite-surfing territory. Combined energy is still moderate at 173. Wednesday morning the 22nd has 6ft east swell with 19 mph wind – combined energy jumps to 945. The afternoon cleans up with lighter wind, 8ft east-south-east swell, and combined energy 830 – that could be a big, powerful session for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 8ft.

So, the best of the lot: Wednesday morning 8 July and Wednesday morning 15 July. Both have clean conditions, decent size, and good energy. Everything else is either small, windy, or messy.
