The Lowdown
Right, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Aisling's Beach over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with ya – it’s a pretty grim run for the first week and a half. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with almost nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly junk, and the scores reflect that. There’s a real gap here from the start all the way through to the morning of Tuesday the 25th of August. That’s a solid week and a half of flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions.
The water temp is sitting at 60°, which is about bang on average for the time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your tail off while you’re sitting there waiting for a wave that never comes.
Now, the only true glimmer of hope in this whole 16-day window shows up on Tuesday the 25th of August. Tuesday morning we get a bit of a pulse, with a 4 ft SSE swell, a period of 10 seconds, and a moderate offshore wind from the SW. That’s clean. The combined energy jumps to 249 (moderate), which is a big step up from the ghost town we’ve been seeing. By Tuesday afternoon, it’s looking even better – 4 ft from the SSE, still 10 seconds, and a fresh offshore wind from the SSW, keeping it clean. The energy hits 351 (moderate). This is the standout session. The swell direction is right on the money for this spot too, coming from the SSE, which is the optimum. It’s a bit of a challenge for the absolute beginners with that 4 ft, but for anyone who’s got their pop-up down, this is the one to circle. The period is a solid 10 seconds, so you’ll get some decent shape and longer lulls between sets – makes the paddle out a bit easier.
Wednesday the 26th is still rideable with a moderate offshore, but the swell drops back to 3 ft and the energy fades to 97, so it’s merely ordinary after that.
If you’re a kiter, the whole windy afternoon stretch from the 19th through the 22nd looks more interesting than a paddle. Onshore junk and enough wind to get a kite up, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
So, bottom line: wait for that Tuesday the 25th of August. That’s your chance. The rest is a write-off.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Aisling's Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
