The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Aisling’s Beach.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow burner. The first few days are flat and weak. From Thursday the 6th through to the middle of the following week, the energy is just not there. The combined swell energy is in the double digits (weak), and even when it nudges up to 122 (moderate) on Friday afternoon, the quality is just ordinary. The water temp is sitting at 60°, which is pretty normal for this time of year (0.8° anomaly, so nothing crazy).
The real standout in this whole forecast is the window around Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th. The models are showing a proper push. We’ve got a solid S/SE groundswell with a period of 9 to 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 997 (strong) on Thursday morning. That’s a big number. The wind is blowing from the SW at 22 mph, offshore, so those waves are going to be holding up clean. The wave height is hitting 8 ft, which is big, expert territory, but it’s going to be clean as a whistle. That Thursday morning is the pick of the bunch.
Friday the 14th hangs in there too, with waves around 5 ft to 4 ft and a moderate offshore breeze, still clean. The energy stays strong at 512 and 395 (moderate to strong). If the big stuff on Thursday is too much, Friday morning is a much more manageable size and still has that clean offshore feel.
After that, from Saturday the 15th onward, the swell fades fast. The wind stays offshore or cross-offshore, which is a good sign, but we’re back to knee-high, waist-high leftovers by Sunday and Monday. The energy drops back into the double digits. Not much to get excited about.
So, there’s a big gap of nothing from the 6th to the 12th, then that one brilliant window on the 13th and 14th, and then it fades out again. If you can, get out there on Thursday the 13th or Friday the 14th. That’s your window.
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.
