The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the outlook for Aisling’s Beach. This spot is a beach and point break that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the swell, and best with a SE direction. But for the next 16 days, it’s pretty grim. Water temp is 60°F, which is about average for this time of year.
We start with a big dry gap. From Monday 17 August right through the rest of the month, it’s mostly flat. Swell heights barely hit 1 ft, combined energy is weak—mostly in the 40s and 50s—and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making things choppy and messy. Even the glassy moments can’t fix the tiny, short-period junk.
Things perk up a bit on Thursday 27 August in the morning—swell bumps to 4 ft from the NE, period 6 seconds, combined energy of 190 (moderate), with a SSW offshore wind at 15 mph. It’s clean but only surfable, nothing to write home about.
Then after another quiet stretch, Saturday 29 August morning brings the real highlight. The swell is 4 ft from the NE, period 8 seconds, combined energy of 210 (moderate), and the wind is light out of the ENE at 5 mph—glassy conditions. It’s the one time the forecast says “expect good surf.” Crowds are possible here, but with the run of poor surf, it won’t be raging. This is your session.
After that, it drops back fast. By Sunday 30 August, swell is under 2 ft with onshore winds and energy down to 79. The rest into early September is all strong cross-onshore winds, up to 25 mph, and messy seas. Nothing for the board.
Summary: two weeks of mostly flat and crap, with one solid window on Saturday 29 August morning. That’s the one to aim for.

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.
