The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, checkin’ in with a look at what’s on offer down at Aisling's Beach. The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, but we’ve got a serious standout comin’ that will have the experienced crew frothin’.
The water temp is sittin’ at about 60°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild there wetsuit-wise.
Right off the bat, Thursday the 23rd is a write-off—tiny, messy, not worth paddlin’ out. Friday the 24th starts small, but the afternoon picks up a bit with a 3ft swell from the SSE, period around 11 seconds, and clean offshore wind from the SW. The wave energy’s moderate (262), but the surf is just okay, nothin’ to get excited about.
Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are small and ordinary, with light winds and onshore or cross-off breezes. A few waves to mess around on for a learner, but the quality’s flat.
The whole first week, from the 23rd to the 1st of August, is a long stretch of poor or very average surf. You’ll see tiny swell, weak energy, and ordinary conditions. There’s a run of days with barely a ripple. Not worth the drive.
Now, things start to get interesting on Sunday the 2nd of August. We get a jump in swell—5ft to 6ft from the SSE, period around 10 seconds, with fresh offshore wind. Energy jumps up to strong (427 to 646). It’s a bit lumpy, and the tide might be tricky, but it’s got some grunt.
The real standout comes on Tuesday the 5th of August. Wednesday the 5th, Thursday the 6th—this is the big one. Wednesday morning: glassy conditions, zero wind, a solid 8ft swell from the ESE, period 11 seconds. The combined energy is very strong (1313). Perfect conditions for experienced surfers, but with the swell over 8ft on Thursday morning (10ft) it’s strictly for the experts—very strong wave energy (2650), glassy, clean. The long-period groundswell (12 seconds) will march straight in at a beach break, so take that into account if you’re on a point or reef. This is the best window, hands down.
Crowds are sometimes an issue at Aisling's Beach, but with these sizes, only the experienced crew will be there.
Bottom line: The first week-plus is a bust. Hang tight, wait for Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th of August. That’s your window—big, clean swell and glassy mornings. If you’re not an expert, stay out of the water those days.
Stay stoked, 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.

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.
