The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Aisling's Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right, straight up, it’s a tough start. The first week and a half is mostly a write-off. We've got a long, frustrating gap with hardly anything worthwhile. For days on end, the conditions are just ordinary – poor surf, messy winds, or tiny swell. You’d be wasting your time paddling out.
The only real glimmer in the whole 16-day window comes right at the end of the first week, on Sunday, the 23rd of August in the afternoon. That's the standout. We see a pulse of 5ft swell rolling in from the south with a period of 8 seconds. The kicker is the wind – it's glassy. Absolutely dead calm. That combined swell energy reading is a solid 399, which is a decent kick of power for a beach and point set-up like this. It’ll be clean, with some fun, shapely waves. It’s not massive, but that glassy surface will make it feel a whole lot better than the junk we’ve been looking at. If you’ve been waiting, that’s your session.
Beyond that, the second week looks pretty average. We get some consistent offshore winds from the southwest but the swell stays small, mostly under 3ft, and the energy is low to moderate. The wind can get strong – 18-25 mph at times – which makes paddling hard work even if the faces are clean. There’s nothing else that jumps out as a proper standout for the rest of the run.
So, in short: sit tight until that Sunday afternoon. It’s the only real chance we get for clean, fun waves. The rest is one to sleep through.

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.
