The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into the only show in town for this stretch – Aisling’s Beach. It’s a beach and point set-up, fairly consistent, exposed to the swell. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at about 61°F.
Right now, we’re looking at a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. There’s not much to get excited about until we get towards the second week. The first few days are mostly tiny, messy, or blown out with cross-shore winds. Wednesday morning (Sept 2) has some knee-high 1ft swell from the ENE at a long 10-second period, but it’s a cross-off breeze and the energy is weak (51). Not worth paddling out for anything special.
Thursday morning (Sept 3) is glassy, but there’s only 1ft of weak energy and the swell is from the NE. It’s clean but flat. The next few days are a write-off – Saturday afternoon (Sept 5) gets a gusty 25 mph cross-off that cleans it up a bit on a tiny 2ft wave, but it’s just not there.
Sunday afternoon (Sept 6) finally sees a pulse – 6ft from the south with moderate energy (656). But the wind is a cross-shore breeze making it choppy. It’s a tease, not a goer.
The real standout window starts to appear around Thursday, September 10. The morning has a tiny 1ft wave but it’s coming from the SSE with a very long 22-second period. The energy is solid (221), and it’s clean with a moderate offshore breeze. This is the kind of long-period groundswell that will wrap into the point there, giving you some nice lines even if the height is small. Keep an eye on it.
But the absolute best on offer is Monday morning, September 14. We’ve got a solid 7ft from the east, 8-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze. The combined energy is pumping (559). This is a proper session – good size, clean faces, and the swell direction is bang on for the SE optimum. It’s not for the groms at this size, but for anyone who knows what they’re doing, get ready. The wind stays clean until the afternoon when it turns cross-on and gets a bit lumpy.
After that, the middle of the month sees another increase. Wednesday afternoon, September 16 has a beefy 7ft from the ENE with a fresh offshore from the SSW and massive energy (1142). That’s expert territory – big, clean, and a lot of water moving.
Overall, this stretch has a long quiet start, then a couple of good windows in the second week. The morning of Sept 14 and the afternoon of Sept 16 are the standouts if you can wait. Keep your hopes up, the forecast can always tighten up.
Stay salty,
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.
Aisling's Beach is 4 km (2 miles) from Eden. If you plan a holiday in Far South New South Wales, look for hotels and other accommodation in Eden. Eden has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
