The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Aisling’s Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the start of this period is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a few days of small, messy surf with poor conditions, so you’re not missing much if you leave the board in the car. There’s nothing recommended until we get to Friday the 28th of August.
Things start to look up on Friday morning though. A clean 4ft swell from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds, is rolling in and the wind is light cross-off. The combined swell energy is a solid 278 – that’s moderate but punchy enough for a fun session. It’s not huge, so it’s a good one for all levels.
Then, the standout of the whole forecast has to be Saturday the 29th of August, first thing. Get up early for this one. It’s glassy – absolutely dead calm – and there’s a 5ft swell from the SSW. Sure, the period is only 8 seconds, but with that clean face and decent size, Aisling’s is going to be looking its best. The combined energy is up at 436, so there’s plenty of push. It’s a beach and point setup, so it should handle that swell nicely. The water temp is 60°, which is about normal for the time of year, so you won’t need a steamer.
Sunday morning the 30th is also worth a mention. The wind goes offshore from the SW, and there’s another clean 4ft swell, this time from the SSW, with 296 energy. It’s a gentle offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean and lined up. Not quite as perfect as Saturday, but still a solid session.
After that, it tails off pretty dramatically. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of tiny, poor-quality waves with onshore or messy winds right through the first week of September. There are a few days around the 3rd and 4th where the wind is offshore, but the swell is barely 1ft, so you’d be scratching for anything rideable.
There is a little flicker on Monday the 7th of September, with a glassy morning and 2ft swell from the SSE, but it’s very ordinary. Then Monday afternoon sees a jump in size to 6ft from the NE, but it’s wind-affected and a bit of a mess. Not really worth getting excited about.
So, in short: don’t bother with this week. Your best bet is definitely Saturday morning the 29th of August. Sunday the 30th is your second option. Everything after that is a waiting game.

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.
