The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at Aisling’s Beach. Over the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some clean spells, but there’s also a lot of onshore chop and waiting around. The water temp is sitting at 61°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first decent window doesn’t show up until Monday afternoon the 10th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NE, period around 10 seconds, and the wind swings offshore from the SW. That’s clean. Combined swell energy is moderate at 488. It’s a proper groundswell with that period, so the shape should be decent. But, and it’s a big but, the surf is still small for the rest of the week, and mostly onshore. Tuesday morning the 11th has a clean 2ft from the ENE, but it’s small and weak with only 157 energy.
Wednesday afternoon the 12th sees a 2ft swell from the ENE with light offshore SW wind, energy is low at 64. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The next real standout comes on Saturday the 22nd. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Saturday morning we’ve got 5ft from the ENE with a 10-second period, light offshore SSW wind, and clean conditions. Energy is a solid 375. Saturday afternoon bumps up to 5ft from the ENE, still offshore from the SSW, and energy hits 413. That’s the best of the run, with clean, offshore conditions and a solid groundswell. Crowds can be a thing here sometimes, so expect some company if it’s firing.
Before that, Thursday the 20th has a 6ft from the ENE but it’s blown out by onshore NE winds, so no good. Friday the 21st is more of the same with choppy cross-onshore winds.
After the Saturday standout, Sunday the 23rd gets messy with strong cross-shore winds and rain. By Monday the 24th, we see a clean 3ft from the ENE with a long 11-second period, offshore SW wind, and moderate energy at 293. It’s surfable and clean, but not as punchy as the Saturday.
Overall, the real highlight is Saturday the 22nd of August. Clean, offshore, 5ft to 5ft of ENE groundswell. That’s your best bet. The rest of the run is mostly small or choppy, but there are a few clean windows if you’re patient.

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.
