Aisling's Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again, same spot, different numbers.

Let’s be straight – Aisling’s Beach is in for a slow start. There’s a big gap with no real surf to speak of. The first time you’d even think about waxing up is Tuesday morning, August 11th. Before that, Monday the 10th is a total washout with messy cross-shore wind and poor waves.

Tuesday morning, August 11th, we get a break. Wind swings offshore from the southwest at 15 mph, cleaning the surface right up. We’re looking at a 3ft south swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (216). Not big, but clean, and for a beginner-friendly break like this, it’s a solid window. Water temp is 61°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Tuesday afternoon, the wind flips onshore and the quality drops off.

Then we hit another long dry spell. From Wednesday the 12th through Sunday the 16th, it’s mostly tiny, weak, or messy. Swell drops below 2ft for a few days, and the wind isn't helping. You’ll see some offshore stretches, but there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a real quiet period.

Looking way ahead, there’s a glimmer. Monday, August 24th, the afternoon shows a cross-offshore wind and a 5ft east swell, but it’s still just marginal. The real standout is Tuesday, August 25th. Morning session looks excellent: light offshore wind, a 4ft east swell, and the period stretches out to a lovely 13 seconds. The combined energy hits 808, which is strong, and the waves should have proper shape. That’s a morning to circle on the calendar. The afternoon holds up too, with a 4ft swell and clean offshore wind, though a bit stronger.

So, if you’re holding out, Tuesday morning, August 25th is the one. It’s a long way out, so stay flexible, but that’s got the quality and the clean conditions. Before that, Tuesday the 11th is your only real option, and it’s a small one.

Rusty.
