Aisling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s shaking at Aisling’s Beach.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and ordinary run for the next week or so. The ocean’s mostly asleep with tiny, weak swell and messy wind at Aisling’s Beach, a beach and point setup that’s exposed to SE. Water temp is sitting at 61°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. You’re looking at a long stretch of tiny waves barely breaking waist-high, if that. There are several days where there’s no real recommendation – just minimal dribble.

Friday 21st: morning has a light SW offshore at 6 mph on a 2ft swell from the NE at 7 seconds. Combined energy’s only 44 – that’s barely any push. Conditions are clean but the surf is poor. Afternoon gets a cross shore from the SE and it’s still tiny.

Saturday 22nd: morning glass-off with W wind at 3 mph, but the swell drops to 1ft, period just 6 seconds – combined energy a pathetic 11. Afternoon onshore NE wind kills it.

Sunday 23rd: morning goes glassy again with NE 3 mph and a 2ft S swell, period 10 seconds. Energy rises a little to 60. Still just ordinary surfable waves. The afternoon gets hammered by a 16 mph onshore NE blow.

Monday 24th & Tuesday 25th: both days stay poor, tiny swell, cross or cross-onshore wind. Nothing to get out of bed for.

Wednesday 26th: morning shows some life – a moderate SSW offshore at 12 mph, 2ft NE swell, period 8 seconds, energy 60. Clean but still only surfable waves, nothing special. The afternoon wind cranks to 19 mph offshore, still clean but the swell’s too small.

Now, Thursday 27th morning gets interesting. A SSW swell of 3ft with a 7-second period, but the combined energy jumps to 150 – moderate wave energy now. Offshore SSW wind at 12 mph, clean conditions. Still only surfable and ordinary, but it’s a step up.

Friday 28th & Saturday 29th: mostly poor, cross-onshore or light cross-off wind, tiny swell below 3ft.

The standout finally arrives Sunday 30th August morning. This is the one to circle. A 7ft swell from the E with a 7-second period, and combined energy hits 429 – strong wave energy. The wind is light S at 6 mph, cross-off, which means clean. This is a legit session, the best on offer. Expect good surf conditions. It’s a bit short-period, so the wave shape might be a little lumpy, but for a beach and point setup it’ll still offer some fun peaks. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 6ft, with a moderate cross-off S wind at 12 mph – marginal conditions, but still worthwhile.

Monday 31st August and Tuesday 1st September: back to poor or ordinary, swell drops under 4ft, breezy.

Thursday 3rd September morning: another possible bright spot – 4ft swell from the NE at 7 seconds, combined energy 185 (moderate), glassy conditions with an ENE breeze at 3 mph. Surfable waves, clean. Afternoon gets onshore, so morning only.

Nothing else really stands out after that. The second week is quiet, with tiny swell and mostly onshore or cross winds.

Bottom line: if you’ve got a window, make it Sunday 30th August morning – that’s your best shot for some proper waves with clean conditions. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
