The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty.
Alright, let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Aisling's Beach are looking pretty slim for a proper paddle. The first good surf doesn't show up until Thursday afternoon, August 13th, and it's not much to write home about. The water temp is sitting at 16°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – a touch on the warm side, but nothing crazy.
We're looking at a long, dry spell of tiny, weak, and messy surf for the first week and a bit. Thursday the 13th sees a tiny 1ft swell from the ENE at a short 10-second period, with weak combined swell energy (70). It's crossed-off with a 9 mph SSW wind, making for clean but extremely small conditions. Friday the 14th morning starts glassy with a 1ft ENE swell and the same short period, but the energy is a paltry 36. Saturday the 15th morning has a 9 mph offshore from the SW, cleaning up a tiny 1ft S swell (30 energy), but it's barely a ripple. The rest of that week and into the next is a mix of cross-onshore winds and onshores, with swell heights bouncing between 1ft and 2ft and combined energy staying well under 100 – just weak, poor conditions.
There's a brief flicker on Saturday, August 22nd afternoon, where a 16 mph offshore from the SSW cleans up a 4ft swell from the NNE (151 energy, moderate). The period is a short 5 seconds, so it'll be a bit jumbled, but it's surfable. The comment says "very ordinary conditions" though, so don't get your hopes up too high.
The only genuine standout in this 16-day window is shaping up for Friday, August 28th. The morning session looks best. We've got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE with a 9-second period, driven by a solid 16 mph offshore from the WSW. The combined swell energy is moderate at 237, and the conditions are expected to be good. The afternoon holds a similar 4ft swell from the SSE with a 16 mph offshore from the SSW (289 energy), though the forecast calls it marginal. For a break that's "fairly consistent" and exposed to the SE, this is the time to be in the water. The poor surf before then is a slog, but that Friday morning looks like a proper payoff.
The rest of the outlook after that Friday, right to Wednesday the 27th, is back to tiny, weak, and mostly messy. The 27th has some energy (144 to 227) with clean cross-off winds, but the swell is only 3ft to 4ft – still small fish.
Bottom line: a lot of flat and weak days, with a single, solid window on Friday, August 28th. If you can wait for that, it's your best shot.
Rusty.

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.
