Table - best surf conditions forecast for Aldinga Beach over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Aldinga Beach is a tough one. We’re staring down the barrel of a 16-day window with no real standouts. The whole period is pretty much a write-off for decent waves, so don’t be expecting to get wet anytime soon.
Let’s walk through it. From Friday, July 10th, right through to the end of the month, it’s a grim run. The first week is a total dud. Friday the 10th? You’ve got a tiny 0.3ft southwest swell with a very long 16-second period, but combined energy is a measly 10 – weak as. Wind is a gentle cross-off from the north, but it’s just not enough to do anything with. Saturday the 11th sees a messy 6ft northwest windswell with a short 5-second period and 28 mph winds creating a cross-shore mess. The energy jumps to 186 (moderate), but the quality is poor, and it’s followed by an 8ft onshore mess on Saturday afternoon. Sunday the 12th through Tuesday the 14th is all cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions with weak energy. By Wednesday the 15th, the wind goes glassy, but the swell’s down to 1.0ft – not enough to surf.
There’s a bit of a lull in the middle of the run, with tiny, clean waves from the 15th to the 20th, but nothing rideable. Then on Tuesday the 21st of July, we get a pulse of 5ft swell from the WSW with a short 6-second period and moderate cross-onshore winds. It’s still poor quality, with energy at 173 (moderate). The rest of the week into the 25th is more of the same – cross-onshore winds and small, weak swell.
So, the truth is, there’s no good surf on offer here. Aldinga Beach is an inconsistent spot, and this stretch of weather is proving it. The water temp is sitting around 59°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort. If you’re desperate, maybe the clean conditions on Wednesday the 15th or Thursday the 16th could be a paddle, but don’t expect any waves. The setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a surf, honestly. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
Rusty.

Information about the Aldinga Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Aldinga Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Aldinga Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Aldinga 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.

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 Aldinga 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.
