Alright, grab a coffee, this is a tough one. We're looking at a bleak stretch ahead for Aldinga Beach. Right off the bat, I gotta tell ya, the water's sitting around 60°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so at least you won't get any surprises temperature-wise.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a write-off. There's barely a ripple. You've got a long, flat gap here starting today, Friday the 3rd, all the way through, well, it's a grim picture. The swell that shows up around the 11th is a joke – just 5ft on Saturday morning from the NNW, but with a period of only 5 seconds. That's windswell, pure and simple, and the combined energy (102) is barely a murmur. The conditions are labeled as very ordinary, and I'd agree. Nothing to get excited about.
The only real glimpse of something surfable, and I'm using that term loosely, comes on Monday the 13th in the morning. We've got a 4ft swell from the SSW, period of 6 seconds, so still short-period stuff. The combined energy is 97, so it's weak. The wind is offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, which will keep things clean. But honestly, it's a long way out, and given the pattern, don't hold your breath.
Let's be straight with each other: Aldinga Beach is an inconsistent spot, and this 16-day window proves it. There's nothing here that qualifies as a standout. It's a stretch of near-zero surf. If the wind stays strong from the south, as it looks like it will later on, this beach-and-reef setup is going to be more appealing to the kite crew than us paddle surfers. For now, save the wax for another time.

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. If you surf the same spot (Aldinga 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 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.
