The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a pretty lean run for Aisling’s Beach. This is a spot that really needs a clean southeast swell to get going, and unfortunately, the 16-day window looks mostly flat or onshore.
Right off the bat, there’s nothing rideable for the first couple of days. The swell that shows up on Monday the 14th is a messy 4 ft northeast windswell with a poor 7-second period, and it’s blowing cross-onshore. That’s a write-off. The combined energy is weak to moderate at (226), but the quality is just not there.
We finally get a glimmer on Wednesday afternoon, September 16th. The wind swings offshore from the SSW at a fresh 19 mph, cleaning things right up. The swell bumps to a solid 6 ft from the south at 10 seconds, with a combined energy hitting a strong (535). This is the highlight of the whole window. The water temp feels pretty normal for this time of year, nothing unusual. That Thursday the 17th morning is also worth a paddle – still clean with offshore winds and 4 ft of SSE swell (227). That afternoon it gets a bit bigger at 6 ft but goes cross-shore and gets chunky, so morning is the call.
After that, it fades fast. There’s a weird glassy window on the 19th, but the swell is only 0.7 ft with a super-long 17-second period. That’s a ghost swell – long walls of energy that will break too straight for a beach setup, but a point break might pick them up. Not much for Aisling’s here.
The last hopeful pulse is on Saturday the 26th afternoon, with a clean 7 ft NE swell and offshore wind, but that’s a long way out and the period is short at 8 seconds. A bit of a gamble. The following day, the 27th, offers 5 ft from the NE with light cross-onshore bumps but it’s marginal.
If you’re after a paddle, circle Wednesday afternoon the 16th or Thursday morning the 17th. For a beginner, even that 6 ft on Wednesday is a bit much – head in on Thursday's smaller 4 ft. For experts, the 7 ft on the 26th might be worth a look if you’re patient.
Stay safe out there.
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.
