The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days. We’re at Aisling's Beach, a beach and point set-up that’s exposed to the south-east. To be straight with you, the first week is a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of junk from today, the 28th of July, all the way through to the 31st, with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The first real glimmer doesn’t show up until Sunday morning, the 2nd of August.
The turning point comes on Sunday the 2nd of August. Early morning, the wind goes glassy off the SSW at 3 mph, and we’ve got a 3ft swell from the SE at a solid 11 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 224. It’s not huge, but the conditions are clean, and it’s the first proper window in a while. The water temperature is 60°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing to complain about there.
Now, the real standout... and I mean the one you’d be a fool to miss, is the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. The wind is glassy, dead calm from the NNW at 3 mph, and we’ve got a 5ft swell from the SE with a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong at 396. That’s a solid, punchy swell, and with glassy conditions, Aisling’s Beach will be clean and lined up. If you’re an intermediate or better, that’s your session. It’s a bit much for a beginner at that size, but for the rest of us, it’s the pick of the entire forecast.
Following that, Friday the 7th of August morning is also worth a look. The swell is 5ft from the ESE, with an 8-second period, and a light cross-offshore wind from the W at 6 mph. The energy is strong at 338. It’s not quite as clean as Thursday, but it’s still a decent option.
Saturday the 8th of August morning sees the swell dropping to 4ft from the E, but with glassy conditions again from the W at 3 mph. The energy is moderate at 255. It’s a smaller, cleaner day for the longboard or a fun step-down board.
After that, the second week drops off a cliff. From the 9th of August right through to the 12th, it’s a mix of onshore junk and ordinary conditions. The swell is there, but the wind is a mess. The morning of the 12th of August has a 2ft swell from the E at a very long 12 seconds, with a moderate offshore from the WSW at 12 mph, but the energy is weak at 134. It’s small and clean, but not exciting.
In short: the first week is a bust. The 2nd of August is a soft start, but Thursday the 6th of August is the one to circle. After that, it’s slim pickings.
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.
