The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Alright, mate, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards down at Aisling's Beach. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are a few windows where it’ll be worth getting the wettie on.
The water temp’s sitting about average for this time of year, nothing too wild there.
The real winner in this forecast is Tuesday the 11th of August. That afternoon session is looking like the pick of the entire run. The swell jumps up to a solid 7ft from the south with a clean 10-second period, and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze at 10 km/h. That’s going to put some grunt into the waves without blowing them out. The combined energy is pumping at 946, which is a solid, powerful swell. If you can get out there, do it.
Following that, Sunday the 16th of August has a bit of life in it too. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the southeast, though it’s a short-period affair at only 6 seconds. It’ll be a bit bouncy and maybe a touch jumbled, but with a light cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions, it’s still a fun option. The energy reading of 396 says there’s some push behind it.
After that, it gets quiet. The middle of the week drops right off into tiny surf, with heights barely above 1.0ft for a few days. The combined energy drops into the weak zone, below 40, so don’t bother paddling out from Wednesday the 13th through Saturday the 15th.
Keep an eye on Monday the 18th of August into Tuesday the 19th. The swell bumps back up to around 5ft to 5ft from the east-southeast, but the period is still short (7 seconds), and there’s a cross-onshore breeze making things a little choppy. It’s not a standout, but it’s better than nothing.
Heading into the second week, the last real call is Wednesday the 26th of August. The morning session has 4ft from the east with an 8-second period, but the real story is the wind – dead calm, glassy as a mirror. That’s going to be clean as a whistle. The energy reading of 262 is moderate, so it’s not a sizzler, but with those conditions it’ll be a pleasant session if you’re not chasing size.
Most of the other days in that second week are either too small, too choppy, or blown out. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations, which is a bit of a bummer, but that’s how it goes sometimes.
Honestly, if you’ve got one day to make the call, it’s Tuesday the 11th of August in the afternoon. That’s the one.
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.
