Table - best surf conditions forecast for Aldinga Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got brewing in the local waters over the next two weeks.
Truth be told, we're looking at a pretty bleak stretch on the whole. The forecast is mostly flat, with wind and swell conditions just not lining up to give us anything decent to paddle into. There’s a long gap of useless surf ahead before any real energy shows up, and even then, it’s not looking like a classic day.
We kick off with absolutely nothing on offer. Starting from Wednesday the 8th, all the way through to Friday the 17th, it’s just flat and poor. For almost ten days, the swell is barely a ripple—0.3ft to 1.0ft—with weak, short-period windswell that's got no push. The combined energy is pitiful, way down in the single digits (2 to 13). Don't even bother waxing up. There’s a morning on Saturday the 11th where the swell tries to pulse to 6ft, but the period is a shocking 6 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore. That’s just a messy, lumpy wall of whitewater. For a beach break like Aldinga Beach, that setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Finally, on Tuesday the 22nd of July, we get a little spike. Wednesday morning the 22nd shows a 4ft swell from the WNW with a short 5-second period, but the combined energy climbs to a moderate 109 – that’s the only real sign of life in the entire forecast. Problem is, the wind is light cross-shore with some ripples, and the swell direction (WNW) isn't matching the optimum (SW) for the break. It’s not clean, it’s not lining up, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions." So even when we get a pulse, it’s going to be a choppy, average day. For a beginner spot that’s inconsistent anyway, this is about as blank a run as you can get for the area.
Keep a loose eye on things, but I wouldn't clear my schedule for it. Forecasts can change, but right now, the ocean's not giving us much.

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.
