The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'm gonna be straight with you – it's a bit of a slow patch ahead at Aisling's Beach. The next 16 days aren't serving up much to get excited about. We've got a fair run of small, ordinary waves, so you'll need to keep your expectations in check.
The water temp is sitting at 60°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Let's start with today, Thursday the 30th. We've got a small 3ft swell out of the SSE with a 10-second period, but the wind is a moderate WSW offshore, which is a positive. The combined energy is moderate (163). It's surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon looks similar, wind swinging to the SW but still offshore. Friday the 31st starts much the same with a 3ft SSE swell, but by the afternoon, it jumps up to 6ft from the south with a 9-second period, and the combined energy spikes to 621 (moderate). The wind is a cross-offshore, so it's clean, but the quality is only marginal. Saturday the 1st of August is a write-off with poor conditions and onshore winds.
Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are pretty poor, with small, weak swells and messy winds. From Tuesday the 4th through to the end of the first week, the swell drops right off – we're looking at 0.3ft to 2ft, mostly clean but tiny. Not worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn't offer much to change the story. There's a slight bump in energy on the 10th of August, with a 5ft ESE swell and a 12-second period, combined energy of 863 (moderate), but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it a marginal call. The best chance in the whole window is probably Tuesday the 11th of August morning. The swell drops back to 3ft from the ESE at 11 seconds, but we've got a light WNW cross-offshore wind and clean conditions. The combined energy is 206 (moderate). It's not a standout, but it's the best on offer.
Honestly, there's no big, clean groundswell window to chase. The smaller, cleaner days are for the longboard or a foamie, but don't expect any barrels. If you're a beginner, most of this is manageable, but the bigger 6ft day on Friday afternoon might be a bit much. For the experienced crew, there's just nothing with enough power or size to get excited about.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it's been a quiet run, but it won't stay this way forever.
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.
