The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, checking the surf outlook for our local zone.
Honestly, it’s a quiet start. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much happening until the second week, so patience is the name of the game. The best surf comes in the final few days of the forecast.
The standout is Thursday, August 14th. Aisling’s Beach (beach and point) will see a northeast swell push in at around 5ft, with a 9-second period. Combined energy hits 438 (moderate), so there’s some grunt. Wind is light from the west at 6 mph, blowing cross-offshore, keeping things clean. It’s the best of the bunch.
Then on Friday morning, August 15th, we get another good one. Swell drops to 3ft from the SSE, with a longer 11-second period, giving the waves some shape. Combined energy is 321 (moderate), and the wind goes glassy – southwest at 3 mph, dead calm. That’s a session to mark on the calendar. Saturday morning, August 16th, is similar: 3ft SSE swell, 11 seconds, 337 energy, glassy with light west wind. Sunday afternoon, August 16th, also looks clean: 3ft, 11 seconds, 330 energy, and no wind at all.
Before that, we’ve got a big gap. From now until mid-August, swell heights are tiny – mostly 0.3ft to 2ft – periods are short, and energy is weak (two-digit numbers). Wind is often onshore or cross-shore, and the reports are all “poor” or “very ordinary.” It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
Water temp at Aisling’s Beach is about 61°, which is normal for the season.
So, the call is: hang tight until Thursday, August 14th through Sunday, August 16th. That’s your window. The swell is modest, but with clean winds and glassy conditions, it’s the best you’ll get. Keep an eye on it, but for now, that’s the pick.
Rusty out.

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.
